Svarttjern – Draw Blood (Soulseller)

My review of Svarttjern's Draw Blood, written for Heavy Music HQ:

Misanthropic Path Of Madness, Svarttjern‘s debut album, was a blast back in 2009. It perfectly showcased true Norwegian black metal and established itself as one of the best black metal debuts of all time. Svarttjern’s sixth studio album Draw Blood is firmly grounded in the Norwegian black metal scene and strengthens our sense of belonging and appreciation for this unique evil musical tradition.

Draw Blood is lively. Dynamic and vociferous, it follows the same familiar elements heard a thousand times on a thousand hateful, cold, and demonic black metal albums. But the band also leaves room for surprises, as at times the songs are driven by melodic guitar solos, riding forward on groovy riffs, or in one notable move,they cover The Rolling Stones’ “Under My Thumb.” These surprising elements, which add a layer of intrigue and curiosity to the album, make it more than enough to earn it the love it deserves from the fans. Like its predecessor, Draw Blood and its creators dig into and thrive on old and modern black metal elements.

Rating: 3.5/5
