Dagny Susanne, here is a name that marks a crucial and cutting presence in the Black Metal scene. The beautiful and diffused Swedish multi-instrumentalist is back for the release of her latest and most honoured work. We are talking about Nachtlieder and this third full-length, Lynx, released in 2018. This marks the return of this forceful lady next to Martrum on drums and Deha, adding vocal lines and taking care of the mixing and mastering, everything for an album as provocative as the very roots of the follow-up. The album comes with a gorgeous painting-inspired cover art called Guldnyckeln by John Bauer, 1915. Dagny Susanne is amazing at creating dark landscapes and a heartfelt cacophony. Nachtlieder is firmly rooted in 90s Scandinavian black metal: Fast, thundering drums, visceral and busy guitar work and vocals that are out of this world. Vocally Dagny maintains a unisex growl of Abbath-like comparison, mixing the expected harsh and raw style of the genre with some beyond-the-grave rasps that will chill you to the bone. Lynx has surprising texture within its lead guitar melodies. While the contrast is lacking a bit we did find quite a bit of variation on the atmospheric tones and fretwork. If you havent heard Nachtlieder before then this will be a nice discovery
