Svardenvyrd are a melodic black metal band who have recently released a new record, Scarred Lands.
The record is progressive kicking off with title track “Scarred Lands,” showcasing the band’s consistent use of melodies paired lightly with controlled screaming vocals.
Clean vocals lay precisely against the heavy toned music. In tracks such as “The Horizon Was Clear, Far and Charming,” seeming to produce smooth and graceful transitions while telling a story within guitar tones.
“I Wished To Follow The Sun” echoes the same kind of shadowed hooks, making for a memorable eight-minute track.
The record closes out on “My Journey Ends Here,” the shortest song on the album. The song mirrors the shades of grey that’s formed throughout Scarred Lands, honing in on the band’s creativity in telling stories through music rather than being vocally focused.
Svardenvyrd are a band expected to propel their innovative mindset when constructing new music, leaving fans wanting more from them.
