Sweden's solo project Grift has returned with a new recording which shows the music staying away from the black metal style of previous releases and focusing more on the folk music style of current material and this is a review of his 2023 album "Dolt land" which will be released in September by Nordvis Produktion.
Nature sounds start off the album along with some folk instruments a few seconds later while acoustic guitars are also a very huge part of the album. Synths can also b e heard in certain sections of the recording as well as sine the vocals also being done in a more clean neo-folk style and some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length.
At times the music also adds in some medieval touches while t he more aggressive vocals are more closer to a black metal style when they are introduced into the music. When percussion is utilized they also add in more tribal and shamanistic touches along with one track also adding in a brief use of spoken word parts as well as one song also introducing whispers into the music.
On this recording Grift expands on t he forest folk music style he has established on current releases as well as adding in some touches of black metal to the vocals. The production sounds very dark while the lyrics are written in Swedish and cover hu=mankind's bond with nature.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Grift and if you are a fan of neo-folk, you should check iut this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE 'Silverne stig" and "Gyllene sal". 8 out of 10.
