SYN are a band from Norway that plays an old school form of black metal and this is a review of their 2023 album "Villfareise" which will be released in December by Terratur Possessions.
Rain and thunder sounds start off the album before going into more of a fast and raw musical direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the vocals are mostly grim yet angry sounding black metal screams. and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
Most of the music is also very heavily rooted in the 90's second wave era while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with some clear singing also being utilized at times.
Some of the tracks are also long and epic in length and when guitar solos and leads are introduced into the music they are also done in a very melodic style as well as the closing track also adding in a small amount of clean playing. The production sounds very raw and old school while the lyrics are written in Norwegian and cover dark themes.
In my opinion SYN 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 album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Daudatale" "Villfarelse" "Ormekulde" and "Drømmen ved bålet". 8 out of 10.
