Ulvhedner are a band from Norway that plays a pagan form of black metal and this is a review of their 2022 album "Legd" which was released by Hellstain Productions.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album while the vocals sections of the songs also add in a great amount of blast beats and tremolo picking which also gives the music more of a raw feeling. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams.
Synths can also be heard at times while one song also introduces acoustic guitars onto the album. Some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style and clear pagan vocals can also be heard in certain sections of the album.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with all of the musical instruments on the recording also having a very powerful sound to them, spoken word parts can also be heard briefly and the vocals also have their grim moments. As the album progresses clean playing is also utilized briefly and female vocals are also added on the closing song. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in Norwegian and cover the hardship of the old farmers life in the winter-land of the north.
In my opinion Ulvhedner are a very great sounding pagan black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Andre Kapittel: Vonlaushet" "En Storm Der Ute" and "Til Siste Ende". 8 out of 10.
