Bræ are a duo from an unknown area that plays a very raw and old school form of black metal with elements of ambient and this is a review of his 2023 album "Av Vålnader Bortom Allt" which will b e released in February by Amor Fati Productions.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album while both of the tracks are over the 20 minute limit. Vocals are mostly grim yet high pitched sounding black metal screams that also sound very tortured at times along with the synths also bringing in elements of ambient when they are utilized.
When the music speeds up a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling. The album also adds in a decent amount of 90's influences along with both of the tracks also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
Angry shouts can also be heard briefly along with both of the songs also adding in a small amount of acoustic guitars and whispers as well as the music also adding in some atmospheric medieval touches at times. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover dark t hemes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Bræ and if you are a fan of raw and old school black metal with elements of ambient, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACK "I nattskrud viska". 8 out of 10.
