Borgarting are a band from Norway that plays an old school form of black metal and this is a review of their 2023 album "Beist" which will be released on July 14th by Dusktone.
A very dark y et heavy sound starts off the album while the vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams. Clean playing can also be heard on a couple of songs along with the music also being very heavily rooted in the classic Norwegian style and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the faster sections of the songs also add in a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the music more of a raw feeling. At times the riffs also show an influence of the first wave era as well as the recording also giving an old school style more of a modern sound.
When guitar solos and leads are finally utilized they are done in a very melodic style and most of the album also sticks to a more mid tempo direction as well as one song also adding in a brief use of synths. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in Norwegian and cover the nature of man.
In my opinion Bogarting are a very great sounding old school black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Allfar" "{Beist" and "Horde". 8 out of 10.
