Möhrkvlth are a band from France that plays a pagan form of black metal and this is a review of their 2026 album "Gwenojennoù An Ankounac’h" which will be released in May by Antiq.
Synths start off the album and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times while the faster sections of the recording also add in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also also gives the music more of a raw feeling and clear pagan vocals are also utilized at times.
Harsh vocals are mostly black metal screams while the album mixes in influences from both the old school and modern era's of the genre. Most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with the riffs also adding in a lot of melody and throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
Growls are also utilized at times along with the album also having its atmospheric moments as well as the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style, spoken words can also be heard on a couple of songs and one track is an instrumental and also adds in a brief use of acoustic guitars. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in French and cover the poetry of Anjela Duval, war, horrors of the past, the forsaken people of rural life, sacred themes, mystical landscapes and the cold season.
In my opinion Möhrkvlth are a very great sounding atmospheric pagan metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Dindan Goulou Ar c'hroapou Mein" and "Aux Songes De L'Hiver". 8 out of 10.
