Bloodshed Walhalla are a solo project from Italy that has been featured before in this zine and plays an epic form of viking metal and this is a review of his 2023 album "Glory To The Sacred Land" which was released by Earth And Sky Productions.
Nature sounds start off the album along with some epic sounding synths a few seconds later which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can b e heard which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling.
Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them along with the vocals being mostly high pitched black metal screams.
Clear pagan vocals can also be heard at times along with some touches of folk music also being added into certain sections of the recording. Acoustic guitars are also added on some of the tracks and a great portion of the songs are also very long and epic in length, spoken word parts can also be heard briefly. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Nordic Themes, Viking Mythology and War.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Bloodshed Walhalla and if you are a fan of epic viking metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Glory To The Sacred Land" and "Rise And Fight, Glory And Victory". 8 out of 10.
