I just ordered these guys' MLP from Soulseller- it's a few veterans of the Norwegian BM scene (Dødheimsgard, Ulver and some others). Their entire aesthetic might make you expect something modern and urban sounding but actually it's old school in its production, aggressive in its style and highly energetic and diverse in its vocal approach.  Intriguing stuff.

Good stuff. Sounds pretty generic at the start but starts to get more interesting from the 2 min mark on...

[Eoin McLove]

I'd argue traditional over generic,  but that's semantics I suppose! Because I was expecting something modern, and possibly current-era Ulverish, it took me pleasantly by surprise.  It's maybe more in line with old DHG but with more theatrical vocals. It scratches the itch for me.

The full EP is streaming now.  Four songs, three of  which sound very good but,  oddly, the opening song is a bit shit going purely on my first listen. It sounds like generic D-Beat hardcore and doesn't display the same creativity or depth as the other songs.  Might be a grower,  of course,  and the other three songs sound very promising so I'm looking forward to my copy arriving.

Loving this EP.  The first song is actually not as bad as I originally thought.  The vocals are savage.

[Eoin McLove]

Listening to this again for the first time in a while.  Seems to have more or less slipped off the radar which is a pity as it's a brilliant EP. I can't wait to hear a full length of this stuff, but maybe without the unnecessary d-beat.

[Vadge]

Yes this was a surprisingly great EP for me. I wasnt even aware of the clientele involved when I first heard it but it made complete sense on discovery (if that makes sense). The dynamics work perfectly and some great musicianship on display in flashes without overdoing shit. I also hadnt copped it was an EP when I first heard it so definitely wanted more by the time it had finished. Defo ones to keep an eye out for with a full-length

[astfgyl]

Haven't  the slightest who is involved etc but the track up there is actually very good. I was nearly thinking about buying and listening to it more than once before the end

[Eoin McLove]

Looks like the lads have a full length recorded. I hope it's not too long a wait until its release.

[Blackout]

Music is good but the vocals are not my cup of tea.

[Eoin McLove]

I think they are the business. They cover quite a lot of ground.

Open Face Surgery alerted me to this. It somehow snuck under my radar. I think the song is pretty damn good, if a bit standard in comparison with some of the more adventurous songs on the EP. It has a melancholy feel to it which works. I've no doubt the album will have more complexity and adventurousness, and I'm really looking forward to picking it up. One of the more interesting BM bands on the go, in my opinion.

I'm not big into either of these bands (but should be, once I get around to it)
But there appears to be a mix of early Ulver and Mgła

Vocalist is great btw

Woops. Just read the start of the thread ... Ulver

[Eoin McLove]

I don't hear Mgła by yeah, that morose riffing has a lot of Ulver in it.
