KrvL are a band from Belgium that plays an atmospheric form of post black metal with elements of doom metal and this is a review of their self released 2022 album "Kravaal" which will be released in March.
A very dark and heavy sound starts off the album while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams. Elements of doom metal can be heard in the slower sections of the songs along with some deep growls also being utilized at times and when the music speeds up a lot of blast beats can be heard.
Some of the riffing shows an influence of post metal while also adding in a decent amount of melody. Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the music also having its atmospheric moments and when tremolo picking is utilize they also give the songs more of a raw feeling.
Some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with some songs also adding in a small amount of clean playing as well as some whispered vocals also being utilized briefly as the album progresses, spoken word parts are also added on the closing track. The production sounds very raw and heavy while the lyrics are written in the band members native tongue and cover Nature themes.
In my opinion KrvL are a very great sounding atmospheric post black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Het gezang der nachtekraaien" and "Het verrand". 8 out of 10.
