Black vinyl with lyric insert

Flykt, escape in Swedish, is a Swedish black metal band consisting of members from Valkyrja and Rev 16:8. Their debut album Charnel Heart, a reference to the “charnel house,” which is historically a vault in which corpses and bones are piled. Since then it has come to mean any place associated with a violent death, is an album where in line with their countrymen Marduk and Bathory, denies the Norwegian style of frostbitten razor-thin tremolos in favour of something significantly fiercer, relying on scorching thrash-influenced riffs and pummelling percussion to get their point across, living up to the fatal violence present in their project’s title. The production itself is clearly geared towards the audibility of the grooves, adding enough distortion to generate heft without sacrificing clarity. Across eight tracks and forty-nine minutes of sonic fire, these Swedes are at their best when they revel in the relentless, beating eardrums into submission. And for much of the forty-nine minutes, they do so with all their hearts with crunchy riffs, pounding blastbeats, and blackened reverb-laden vocals. In spite of its best moments, Charnel Heart does not necessarily set Flykt apart from other black metal thrashers and simply lives in the shadow of the aforementioned Marduk or Bathory. But I truly enjoyed Charnel Heart and will be returning for its heaviness, even if it may not have the depth or the complexity of other engaging black metal offerings but there’s beauty in its brutal simplicity and bludgeoning lack of pretence. If you’re looking for a blackened sonic concussion, look no further.
