Naglfar
Vittra
[Wrong Again]


Quick intro, and then 'boom'. Frown appears on my face, flashback after flashback appears, the word "fuck" can be heard blocks away. Yes, this is more 'professional', worthless Swedish metal. You know: fast picked melodic riffs, the SAME vocals, duplicate atmosphere. What's wrong with these people?

Its come to a point where 95% of Swedish 'black" metal, "black/death" metal, and/or their cute brand of "death" (yes, all the same styles under different names) metal begins to sound exactly the same. You really cannot tell the difference. A few bands that play in this style SOMETIMES manage to produce quality material that one can appreciate. As for the rest, I wonder if breeding camps exist in Sweden where these groups are engineered to produce this bland brand of metal!

My point must be made clear though: just like the new album, "Vittra" is fodder for a metal bowel movement. Ignore the hype surrounding this band. And to think people call this album 'classic'! Simply awful!
