Our Take

VINTERRIKET's latest release on Displeased Recordings is a musical journey through the icy landscapes of black metal, but it leaves us feeling a bit lukewarm. While the atmospheric soundscapes and haunting melodies create an eerie atmosphere, the lack of variety in the tracklist makes it feel like we're stuck in a never-ending winter.

The album opens with "Frozen in Time," a chilling track that sets the tone for the rest of the record. The ethereal vocals and heavy guitar riffs transport us to a frostbitten realm, but after a few songs, it starts to feel like we're just going in circles. The repetitive nature of the music can leave listeners feeling numb and longing for a bit more excitement.

Despite this, there are moments of brilliance scattered throughout the album. "Eternal Frost" showcases VINTERRIKET's ability to create a truly immersive atmosphere, with swirling synths and pounding drums that send chills down your spine. And "Winds of Despair" offers a glimmer of hope with its dynamic shifts and haunting lyrics.

Overall, VINTERRIKET's latest effort on Displeased Recordings is a solid addition to the black metal genre, but it falls short of truly standing out. While fans of atmospheric music may find something to enjoy here, others may find themselves yearning for a bit more warmth in this never-ending winter.
