Kranholm are a duo from Russia that plays an atmospheric from of black metal and this is a review of their 2021 album "A Wind In The Cold Night" which was released by Der Schwarze Tod.
A very heavy and melodic sound starts off the album while most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. Vocals are mostly angry sounding black metal screams while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. At times the music also gets very atmospheric sounding along with all of the musical instruments on the album also having a very powerful sound to them and the closing track is also an instrumental.
Krahnholm plays a style of black metal that is very raw, melodic and atmospheric sounding. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Philosophy and Dark Poetry themes.
In my opinion Krahnholm are a very great sounding atmospheric black metal duo and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Mistress Of the Stars" and "Ritual". 8 out of 10.
