Description

Black vinyl with printed innersleeve

Dodheimsgard produce a classic mid 90s black metal sound with all of the trademark ingredients – simple melodic black metal riffery, slow rock beats and blast in 3/4 and heavily reverbed vocals. Bass playing however is a stand out, with one of the warmest and tolerably distorted bass sounds on a black metal release – although at times it sounds not distorted at all – there could possibly even be a chorus effect on bass. Occasionally the bass playing will make use of it’s dominant sound and branch out to direct the riff with it’s own line seperate to the guitars which at times become an ambient buzz. The clean guitar work sounds precarious, but never to the point of distracting from the music. The typical vocal shriek found in this music is replaced with an aggressive yell not found in too many black metal releases. All lyrics are in Norwegian but the vocal delivery is executed in a purposeful manner which becomes translatable as an effect to accompany the music.
