Denmark's Solbrud have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for an atmospheric form of black metal and this is a review of their 2024 double album "IIII" which will be released in February by Vendetta Records.
Field recordings start of the album along with some acoustic guitars a few seconds later before introducing synths onto the recording which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. Most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length and the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style.
At times the music also gets very atmospheric sounding while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams. When the music speeds up a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard also gives the music more of a raw feeling along with the riffs also adding in a lot of melody.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with some songs also adding in a small amount of nature sounds. A couple of the tracks are also instrumentals as well as one song also introducing female vocals onto the album, the music also has its progressive moments and clean playing is also utilized at times. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in Danish and cover nature and death themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Solbrud and if you are a fan of atmospheric black metal, you should check out this double album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Hvile" "Sjaeleskrg" and "Aske". 8 out of 10.
