Vid Liv are a band from Sweden that plays a mixture of raw black metal, drone and noise and this is a review of their self titled 2023 album which will be released on cassette in October by Breathe Plastic.
Synths and drones start off the album which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. Voices can also be heard in the background briefly which also evolve into grim yet high pitched sounding black metal screams and harsh noises can also be heard in certain sections of the recording.
A lot of t he music also sound s improvised 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. All of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with some organs, operatic vocals and spoken word parts also being utilized briefly.
Vid Liv plays a musical style that takes raw black metal, drone and noise and mixes them together to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very dark, raw and lo-fi while the lyrics cover dark themes.
In my opinion Vid Liv are a very great sounding mixture of raw black metal, drone and noise and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "I" "III". 8 out of 10.
