Austria's Karg have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for an atmospheric form of post black metal with elements from other musical genres and this is a review of their 2025 album "Marodeur" which will be released in April by AOP Records.
A very atmospheric shoegazre orientated sound starts off the album along with some clean playing and synths before going into a heavier direction which also adds in a touch of grunge rock. Vocals are mostly angry sounding black metal screams and most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length.
Some of the more melancholic sides of the music are heavily rooted in post-punk while the riffs also add in a great amount of melody. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic post metal style along with some angry shouts also being utilized at times.
When the music speeds up a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling. Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as some clear vocals also being added into certain sections of the album, some of the tracks also add in movie samples, violins and pianos. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in German and cover the melancholic side of life.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Karg and if you are a fan of atmospheric post black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Schnee ist das Blut der Geister' "Annapurna" and "Anemoia". 8 out of 10.
