Enevelde are a solo project from Norway that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording played more of a dark, minimalistic and ugly form of black metal and this is a review of their 2021 ep "Gravgang" which was released by Terratur Possessions.
A very dark and heavy sound starts off the ep while the vocals are done in more of a deeper black metal style. Most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length while the faster sections of the songs also add 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 all of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the songs also adding in more of a minimalist touch and the whole recording also sticks to a heavier direction, when guitar solos and leads are finally utilized they are done in more of a dark yet melodic style.
On this recording Enevelde played a style of black metal that was more raw and uglier than the sound he went for on the first full length. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in Norwegian and cover darkness and death themes.
In my opinion this was another great sounding recording from Enevelde and if you are a fan of raw and ugly black metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Gravgang" and "Den dypsindige". 8 out of 10.
