Forfallet are a band from Sweden that has been featured before in this zine and plays on this recording plays an atmospheric form of post black metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "VE" which was released as a joint effort between Fiadh Productions and Void Sound Records.
Atmospheric sounding synths start off the album and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. All of the tracks are also very long and epic in length while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody and when the music speeds up a great amount of blast beats can also be heard.
When tremolo picking is added into the fast riffing they also give the songs more of a raw feeling while the vocals are mostly angry sounding black metal screams. Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic post metal style, along with some tracks also adding in a small amount of clean playing.
On this recording Forfallet goes for more of a modern and atmospheric style of post black metal. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover the inherit pain in being.
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from Forfallet and if you are a fan of atmospheric post black metal, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Obotlig" and "Ruinera". 8 out of 10.
