Hevn III are a band from Norway that plays a very raw form of black metal and this is a review of their self titled 2024 album which will b e released in November by Polypus Records.
A very dark y et heavy sound starts off the album while the music is also heavily rooted in the classic Norwegian tradition. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them along with the vocals being mostly high pitched black metal screams and melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing.
When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the album more of a raw feeling. The songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the tracks also adding in a decent amount of modern touches, spoken word parts can also be heard briefly as well as one song being a ritualistic interlude and the whole recording also sticks to a heavier direction.
Hevn III plays a style of black metal that is very raw, aggressive and traditional sounding. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in a mixture of English and Norwegian and cover misanthropy and magick with some inspirations from the writings of Blake, Crowley and Nietzsche.
In my opinion Hevn III are a very great sounding raw and misanthropic black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this recording. REOCMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Turin Horse" "Basilisk" and "Ridder av hat". 8 out of 10.
