Naglfar - Harvest

This album hasn't been that extensively reviewed like it should be though the existing ones have done it some justice. 'Harvest' is a blend of actually 2 genres of metal; "blackened death metal" and pure "black metal". I have not heard previous releases by this band but they used to according to the data be strictly "Black metal".

The lyrics are a perfect match for the music - they are basically about death, ying, suicide and severe depression. Each song is melodic pretty much all featuring blast beats, melodic guitar riffs, 'Wrath's' sick vocals and some blinding solos (on a few tracks). I conclude that there are no weak points to this album. It's well mixed, each instrument/vocals aren't lacking anything really amazing release.

There are however many tempo changes to the songs not everything is just blast beating frenzies. The melodic parts are really amazing and original. They stand alone here with 'Harvest' being dubbed by some to be one of the top releases of this year. Not enough people into metal have heard this
though I encourage everyone that likes "black metal", "death metal" and "blackened death metal" to purchase this ASAP! I doubt that you will dislike it in any way.

If this work sounds promising now to you check out some tracks such as 'Into the Black', 'The Darkest Road' and the title track 'Harvest'. These are my favorite songs though I love all of them!

1. Into The Black
2. Breathe Through Me
3. The Mirrors Of My Soul
4. Odium Generis Humani
5. The Darkest Road
6. Way Of The Rope
7. Plutonium Reveries
8. Feeding Moloch
9. Harvest
