Udåd are a band from Norway that plays a very raw and old school form of black metal and this is a review of their self titled 2024 album which will be released in march by Peaceville Records.
A very dark, heavy and melodic sound starts off the album while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. Some of the tracks are also long and epic in length along with the vocals being mostly high pitched black metal screams and the music is heavily rooted in t he 90's second wave Norwegian style.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style while the tremolo picking also gives the songs more of a raw feeling when they are added into the music. When the album finally speeds up on a couple of tracks a small amount of blast beats can also be heard and most of the recording sticks to either a slow or mid tempo direction and clean playing is added on the closing track.
Udåd plays a style of black metal that is very raw and mid tempo in the 90's second wave tradition. The production sounds very raw and old school while the lyrics are written in Norwegian and cover the brutal reality of life and the lack of meaning in life.
In my opinion Udåd are a very great sounding raw and old school black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Den Evindelige Ende" "Den Virkelige Apokryf" and "Antropofagens Hunger". 8 out of 10.
