44. Wormwood – “Nattarvet”

I am not making this up, I promise. They describe themselves as Swedish Atmospheric Blackened Folk'n Roll. There you go. I live and breathe obscure metal sub-genres and I don’t have a clue. To these seasoned ears it’s more symphonic black metal with big ambition and big choruses. It is gloriously catchy and unashamedly enjoyable. Like lots of modern Black Metal it takes the template and see’s where it can run with it. This is one of those albums I spoke about that seems to bring something different to the party and it’s eager to see how far it can push this most conservative of genres. Excellent.
