Thousand Year War are a band from Steamboat Springs, Colorado that h as had music reviewed before in this zine before and plays a very melodic form of pagan black metal and this is a review of their self released 2023 ep "Níðhöggr".
Clean playing starts off the ep before going into more of a heavier and melodic musical direction while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams. Clear pagan singing can also be heard at times along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a decent amount of blast beats.
When tremolo picking is added into the faster riffing they also give the music more of a raw feeling. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and they also bring in a cover of Bathory's "Destroyer of Worlds", synths can also b e heard briefly.
On this recording Thousand Year War remains true to the melodic style of pagan black metal that they have established on their previous release. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Norse mythology and Anti Christianity themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Thousand Year War and if you are a fan of melodic pagan black metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Kingdom Of Nastrond" and "Hammer To The Heart Of Christ". 8 out of 10.
