Mýrdal - Helvíti - CASS

Label: Monastyr Records

Black metal duo from Germany.

"A very fast and raw sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing while the vocals are mostly angry sounding black metal screams which also goes in a deep direction at times and the music also has its dissonant moments.

All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. A lot of the music is also very heavily influenced by the Icelandic style along with one of the songs also adding in a brief use of spoken word parts, clear chants can also be heard on a couple of tracks and all of the music also sticks to a heavier direction, when guitar solos and leads are finally added onto the album they are also done in a very melodic style.

Mýrdal plays a style of black metal that is very aggressive, dissonant and modern in the Icelandic tradition. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics. cover dark themes."
