Nifrost are a band from Norway that has been featured before in this zine and on this recording plays a very epic and melodic form of viking black metal and this is a review of their 2026 album "Briseld" which will be released in march by Dusktone.
A very heavy sound starts off the album while you can also hear all of the musical instruments that are present on the recording. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams mixed in with some clear viking metal singing and 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.
Throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the music is also very heavily rooted in the classic Nordic style. Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style, one song also adds in a brief use of clean playing and a couple of tacks also adds in a small amount of spoken words.
On this recording Nifrost brings out a very epic and melodic style of viking black metal. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in Norwegian and cover Norse Mythology.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Nifrost and if you are a fan of epic and melodic viking metal, you should check out this album. ECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Briseld" "Livskraft" and "Likdans". 8 out of 10.
