Russia's duo Grima have returned with a new recording which continues the atmospheric style of black metal from their previous releases and this is a review of their 2022 album "Frostbitten" which will be released on July 29th by Naturmacht Productions.
Clean playing starts off the album while keyboards can also be heard in certain sections of the recording. The riffs also add in a great amount of melody while the faster sections of the songs also bring in a lot of blast beats along with the vocals being mostly high pitched black metal screams and most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while growls can also be heard at times. When tremolo picking is utilized they also give the songs more of a raw feeling along with the music having its atmospheric moments and the tracks also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with some tracks also adding in a small amount of acoustic guitars. Most of the music also brings in more of a modern direction as well as one song also introducing clear vocals onto the album. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover nature and paganism themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Grima and if you are a fan of atmospheric black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Giant's Eternal Sleep" and "Winter Morning Tower". 8 out of 10.
