Our Take
Our Take
Brace yourselves, dear readers, for the cosmic sonic journey that is VALKYRJA's latest album, "Contamination." This Swedish black metal outfit has never been one to shy away from pushing boundaries, and "Contamination" is no exception. From the moment the first haunting notes of "Oceans to Dust" kick in, you know you're in for a wild ride.
The album is a cacophony of blast beats, screeching guitars, and guttural vocals that will leave you feeling like you've been hit by a sonic sledgehammer. Tracks like "Higurashi Curse" and "Psalm of the Devil" will transport you to a dark, twisted realm where chaos reigns supreme.
But don't let the relentless aggression fool you - there's a surprising amount of depth and nuance to be found in VALKYRJA's music. The intricate guitar work on tracks like "Madness Redeemer" and "the Cremating Fire" showcases the band's technical prowess, while the haunting melodies of "Twilight Revelation" will linger in your mind long after the album has finished.
Overall, "Contamination" is a masterpiece of modern black metal that is not for the faint of heart. VALKYRJA have once again proven why they are one of the most exciting bands in the genre, delivering an album that is as exhilarating as it is uncompromising. So buckle up, dear readers, and prepare to be contaminated.
