Blodtår are a band from Sweden that has had music reviewed before in this zine and plays a folk influenced form of black metal and this is a review of their 2023 album "Det förtegna förf" which will be released in April by Nordvis Produktion.
A very heavy and epic sound starts off the album while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the music more of a raw feeling.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while a great portion of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. When acoustic guitars are utilized they also bring in elements of folk music along with some tracks also adding in a small amount of clean playing.
Spoken word parts can also be heard on a couple of songs along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them as well as the music also having its atmospheric moments, one song is also an instrumental. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in Swedish and cover darkness and nature themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Blodtår and if you are a fan of atmospheric and folk influenced black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "En krona av is" "Den fördärvande sorgbundenheten" and "En brynja av barr". 8 out of 10.
