Yr are a duo from Norway that plays an old school form of black metal with elements of black'nroll and this is a review of their 2024 ep "Maanelyst" which will be released in June by Hellstain Productions.
A very heavy 90's influenced black metal sound starts off the ep while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams. When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling and melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very dark yet melodic style along with the mid tempo sections of the songs also adding in elements of black'n'roll, clean playing is also added on the closing track.
Yr plays a style of black metal that is very old school and raw in the classic Norwegian tradition as well as adding in some touches of black'n'roll to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very dark and r aw while the lyrics are written in Norwegian and cover the inner turmoil of human duality.
In my opinion Yr are a very great sounding old school black metal duo and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this duo. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Kvessa Tunger" and "Offernatt". 8 out of 10.
