Formed in 1992, Umeå, Sweden’s black metal nihilists NAGLFAR were quite prolific at the front of their existence. After releasing their classic debut “Vittra” in 1995 it only took them until 1998 to unleash “Diabolical”. Century Media Records is making both of their quintessential first two albums available again. The 2023 Re-issues will come with liner notes and remastered by by Dan Swanö at Unisound (Opeth, Insomnium, Asphyx and many more). Both are available as LP with a 4p LP booklet in coloured 180g vinyl, Ltd. Digipak CD and Digital Album.
White Vinyl Ltd 500 copies, deluxe gatefold edition
Naglfar have an high quality of their recordings, this is the fifth album by those Swedes, and are here again be able to keep up to their high recording standards of the previous albums and if their music would still reek of hatred, evil and suffering.
Naglfar is one of those bands that can effortlessly mix raw energy of black metal that we know from their first al- bums with the elements of melodic death metal introduced in their later releases.
This mix makes their songs memorable to a point that you can recognize them from the first riffs.
Traditionally of course, intensity mixes with atmospheric slower parts, melodic touches intertwine with ultra fast brutality, and in all that, solos, parts of keyboards or piano are thrown into as if into a twister of sickening sound.
Musically, the whole band shows us solid compositional skills, supported by technical in- strumentality and respectable experience.
Christopher Olivius spits out wicked lyrics, he sang with such passion and malice, that vocals added an extra level of brutality, vocals are very strong and solid.
Harvest is an inspired, interesting and originally diverse piece of work.
