Sweden's solo project Lifvsleda has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for more of a raw and old school style of black metal and this is a review of his 2022 album "Sepulkral dedikation" which will be released in April by NoEvDia.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. When the music speeds up a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling and the vocals are mostly grim yet high pitched black metal screams.
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while the music also adds in a great amount of 90's influences. The songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with some melodies also being added into some of the guitar riffing.
Synths can also be heard briefly on a couple of songs along with the music also adding in some more modern touches at times and as the album progresses a brief use of clean playing can also be heard. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in Swedish and cover death themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from Lifvsleda and if you are a fan of raw and old school black metal, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Lifvspänn" "Dödspredikanten" and "Kallet". 8 out of 10.
