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.

Valkyrja

With a name that sounds like it's straight out of Norse mythology, VALKYRJA is certainly making a name for herself in the music scene. The singer-songwriter, who hails from the remote fjords of Iceland, has been causing a stir with her unique blend of ethereal vocals and gritty, electronic beats. Drawing inspiration from the stark beauty of her homeland, VALKYRJA's music is a haunting mix of soaring melodies and pulsating rhythms. Her lyrics are cryptic and enigmatic, weaving tales of love and loss against a backdrop of shimmering synths and pounding bass lines. But don't let her ethereal sound fool you - VALKYRJA is a force to be reckoned with on stage. With a live show that is equal parts mesmerizing and electrifying, she has been winning over fans wherever she goes. From intimate acoustic sets in tiny clubs to headlining slots at major music festivals, VALKYRJA's star is on the rise. Not content to stick to one genre, VALKYRJA effortlessly blends elements of synth-pop, indie rock, and electronic music to create a sound that is uniquely her own. Her music has been described as 'otherworldly' and 'spellbinding', earning her comparisons to the likes of Björk and FKA Twigs. With a captivating voice and a fearless approach to genre-bending, VALKYRJA is a rising star to watch. Keep an eye on this Icelandic enchantress - she's destined for big things in the music world.
