MÅNEGARM

Release Year: 2016
Artist Origin: SWE
Style: dark folk viking black metal

sixth full-length endeavour [2009] by viking folk black metal crew marks the Norse-men venturing into their darkest territory yet, exploring uncharted areas with crushingly heavy and catchy tunes, all the while retaining powerfully melodic sound forged over the past fourteen years of existence, where thematic threads of dreams, nightmares, fears and mysterious phenomena become central creative axis, shaping its shadowy, bleaker emotional direction and harsher musical form, with heavier guitar lines and arrangements taking on a stricter, more concise and refined character, yet beneath such a harsh sonic veil linger memorable harmonies, folkloric roots and bold epic ambition, confirming it is still old good Månegarm with us; recent Swedish edition comes with a remastered sound, new front cover artwork, additional Bergalagen track, and booklet updated by vintage images and liner notes
