Avmakt - Vardøger

Review by Nima Beckie

The album Vardøger by Avmakt is a hauntingly beautiful masterpiece that showcases the Norwegian black metal band's incredible musicianship and songwriting skills. The album is a perfect blend of aggressive riffs, atmospheric soundscapes, and haunting vocals that create a unique and immersive listening experience.

From the opening track "Beyond the Veil of Dreams" to the closing track "Vardøger," the album takes the listener on a journey through dark and mysterious landscapes. The band's use of synths and keyboards adds an otherworldly quality to the music, creating an eerie and unsettling atmosphere that perfectly complements the aggressive guitar riffs and pounding drums.

One standout track on the album is "The Lurking Fear," which features some of the band's most intense and aggressive playing. The track is a perfect example of Avmakt's ability to create music that is both brutal and beautiful at the same time.

Summary by Nima Beckie

Vardøger is a must-listen for fans of black metal and anyone looking for an immersive and atmospheric listening experience. Avmakt has truly outdone themselves with this album, and it is sure to be remembered as one of the best black metal releases of the year.
