Djevel
Tanker Som Rir Natten

Norwegian devils come up with a new album, they have managed quite a few releases since the debut that arrived in 2011. This new one is called Tanker Som Rir Natten, it is thoughts about the night, and it has a very nice and dark artwork – dark but with a touch of colour. It is an album with guys from Norwegian black metallers, a genre where these guys also fit in terms of style. It is said to be their most diverse album so far, so what about it then?

Black metal is the description of the style we are getting, they have a raw sound and some eerie atmospheres. In a way it is typical Norwegian black metal, but I think they offer some fresher sound than the usual suspects within this genre that has made the Norse famous. It is a relatively varied album, especially for the genre. But it is also a long album with a playing time near the hour, that is a tad on the long side.

I like the rawness and the eerie dark feel of this album, it has much to offer for anyone into the black metal genre. But I think it is attractive even if you are into other kinds of heavy music, the haunting feel of the album draws you into it. I think it is good. But it is also an album that I grow tired with after a short while, so it is not one that holds up to well to repeated playing. You should play it at larger intervals to avoid growing tired with it quickly. So, there are both upsides and downsides about this album.

If you are a black metal fan you should have a look at this album, there is a good chance that you will find this to be an enjoyable album. There is a chance that it has a wider appeal too, the raw eeriness is worthy of a closer look and it has more depth than the genre usually shows. I think it is an album that could look fine in the record collection, just don’t play it too often.
