Veenlijk are a band from the Netherlands that plays a very raw and atmospheric form of black metal with elements of thrash, speed metal, post hardcore and punk and this is a review of their 2025 "Galgenberg" which will be released on January 23rd by Void Wanderer Productions.
Nature sounds start off the ep before going into more of a heavier and melodic direction while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. 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.
Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while some of mid tempo sections add in touches of post hardcore and punk. Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with some of the tracks also adding in a small amount of clean playing.
Elements of thrash and speed metal can also be heard in some of the guitar riffing along with the music also having its atmospheric moments. When guitar solos and leads are utilzied they also bring in more of an old school metal/punk style and a couple of the songs are also very long and epic in length. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in Dutch and cover folk tales from their home country.
In my opinion Vennlijk are a very great sounding raw and atmospheric black metal band with elements of thrash, speed metal, punk and post hardcore and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Egidiuslied" and "Bloedbad". 8 out of 10.
