Vanhävd - Låt köttet dö (2018)
With this half-hour EP, the Swedish
group of Vanhävd roll out three tracks of powerful doom metal,
bringing an edge of deathly deftness to direct the heavy momentum in
interesting ways. There's a funereal morbidity lingering over the
affair, with the fully slow portions feeling properly monolithic, and
when the tempo picks up into hammering anxiety, the merging of the
two energy extremes is handled incredibly well for a band's first
release. It's certainly experimental, but at the same time, the band
keeps a firm grounding in tunefulness and logical flow, keeping their
swerves from coming too sharp for the good of the song. As this is
supposed to be a 'sampling' of what their first full-length will
hold, things are sounding extremely promising for Vanhävd, and fans
of creative heavy music would do well to tune in as early as they
can.
