If Pitchfork Reviewed SVARTELDER's Pits:
With their latest album, Pits, Norwegian black metal band SVARTELDER takes listeners on a dark and relentless journey through the depths of hell and back. From the moment the haunting opening track "Into the Abyss" kicks in, it's clear that this is not your average black metal album.
The band's unrelenting energy and skillful musicianship are on full display throughout the record, with blistering guitar riffs, thunderous drums, and guttural vocals that will send shivers down your spine. Tracks like "Ritual of Death" and "The Plague of Time" showcase SVARTELDER's ability to create atmosphere and tension, drawing listeners into their twisted world of darkness and despair.
But what truly sets Pits apart is its unpredictability and willingness to experiment with different sounds and textures. The eerie synth interludes on tracks like "Eternal" add an extra layer of darkness to the album, while the sudden shifts in tempo and mood keep listeners on their toes throughout.
Overall, Pits is a masterful work of black metal art that will appeal to fans of the genre and beyond. SVARTELDER has proven once again that they are a force to be reckoned with in the world of extreme music, and this album is further evidence of their brilliance. So grab your earplugs, light some candles, and prepare for a journey into the depths of darkness with SVARTELDER's Pits. Recommended for fans of black metal, avant-garde metal, and anyone who likes their music with a healthy dose of darkness and despair.
