Our Take
Our Take
As I sit here press play on DRAPSNATT's latest offering "Skelephtin", I can't help but feel a sense of whimsy and wonder wash over me. This Swedish black metal band has always been known for their unique blend of folk influences and raw, atmospheric soundscapes, and this album is no exception.
From the opening track, "Fostra Död", the listener is transported to a world of mystical forests and ancient rituals. The haunting melodies and furious drumming create a sense of urgency that is both exhilarating and captivating. As the album progresses, tracks like "Blodeuwedd's Shrine" and "In Abhorrence Through Rituals" showcase the band's ability to seamlessly blend traditional folk instrumentation with the ferocity of black metal.
But what truly sets DRAPSNATT apart from their peers is their sense of humour and playfulness. Tracks like "The Ballad of the Cursed Monk" and "A Dance of Skulls" inject a sense of levity into an otherwise dark and foreboding genre. The band's willingness to embrace the absurd and the fantastical is refreshing and adds a layer of depth to their music that is often lacking in the genre.
In conclusion, "Skelephtin" is a masterful work of art that showcases DRAPSNATT's ability to push the boundaries of black metal while still staying true to their folk roots. If you're a fan of bands like Wolves in the Throne Room or Agalloch, then this album is a must-listen. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
