Sweden's Nazghor have return with a new recording which shows the music going for a modern, melodic, aggressive and atmospheric form of black metal and this is a review of their 2026 album "A World Ablaze" which will be released on February 20th by Solistitum Records.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are a mixture of black metal screams and death metal growls while the music also adds in a great amount of atmospheric touches and the solos and leads are done in a very melodic style.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while synths can also be heard in the background at times. Some of the songs are also very long and epic in length along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them as well as the riffs also adding in a great amount of melody, clean playing can also be heard briefly and some tracks also bring in a small amount of angry shouts.
On this recording Nazghor adds more atmospheric and death metal elements to their melodic and aggressive style of black metal to create something very different from their previous releases. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover the great city fire of Upsala in 1702.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Nazghor and if you are a f an of aggressive, atmospheric, modern and melodic black and death metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Bathe In Ashes" "Within Crystal Kingdom" and "A Once Starless Oath". 8 out of 10.
