Ulvehunger are a band from Norway that plays an old school mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "Retaliation" which will be released in August by Darkness Shall Rise.
A very dark, heavy and melodic sound starts off the album while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of blast beats. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they also add in a great amount of melody and old school touches along with the vocals being mostly grim sounding black metal screams.
Elements of death metal are also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. When tremolo picking is added into the faster riffing they also give the album more of a raw feeling along with the music also being very heavily rooted in the classic Nordic tradition. all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them and all of the tracks stick to a heavier direction.
Ulvehunger plays a musical style that takes a classic and traditional form of Norwegian black metal and mixes it with death metal to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover darkness, death, war and occultism themes.
In my opinion Ulvehunger are a very great sounding mixture of black and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Desecrator" "Consumed By Hate" "Declaration Of War" and "The Mighty Pentagram". 8 out of 10.
