Dodheimsgard - A Umbra Omega (2015)


Mind boggling, avent-garde Norwegian Black Metal from Dodheimsgard.  Even though this album cover looks like some new wave post/bm, Dodheimsgard has been in the game since 1994 pushing classic raw Black Metal and they deserve to do whatever the hell they want.  Reminds me of the same track Akercocke took but when I watched them at Deathfest last year, they still vastly crushed it. A Umbra Omega tracks in at 107 minutes with 5 tracks and 1 intro, so you know your in for something uniquely bizarre. Going in and out of time signatures, blast beats, speedy tremolo picks, piano and clean guitar, DHG still composed a piece of art.  I have a soft spot for "bad" vocals because it emulates more passion, id say, and they fit that category. Not saying that is a bad thing, its a great feature in my opinion.  FFO : Taking Acid and tightrope walking.
Support. Support. Support.
