I enjoyed their previous material which lead to interview.

This is their debut album ‘Darkness Devour’ it’s straight forward black metal in the traditional way.

‘Darkness Devour’ really starts to kick off with a great turn and enjoyable experi

ence.
Already at first track they set the standard of ‘Darkness Devour’ which is a great experience for me to get a better overview of the beauty of the music when it reveal itself and it’s dark, aggressive with good melodies that keep you going on and take a part of the journey of furious and melodic journey.
It’s not for the faint hearted.

FLUKT kept their style and stay true to their own music. A solid debut album overall and an excellent experience. FLUKT has really improved the way they perform their art. The tracks are overall more interesting,memorable and solid than before.
It’s an album I will play a lot in the future as there are some very promising stuff here that I can’t really describe, just enjoy it all and Darkness Devour’ will reveal everything eventually.

If you enjoy their previous material you will probably be positively pleased with ‘Darkness Devour’ as their live up to their own spirit of true Norwegian black metal. Raw, fast and melodic as only FLUKT delivers.

Unpolished relentless in your face black metal is what you get. I also like the way they slow down and leave room for the listeners to breathe with their atmospheric sound and parts of the album. They have really been working on good melodies and not just drive full speed ahead...

Absolutely worth checking out if you’re into the genre!

 

Istårn - Downfall Of The Gods Ep 2011

According to the facebook profile they play "True Norwegian Black Metal".
But as I listen to the opening track it's obvious that there are very much thrash influences here.
At least musically speaking,especially the guitar riffs & song structure.

Listening to the second track I'm somewhat surprised as Istårn actually manage to create some good acoustic parts both on guitar and bass before they continue in a quite fast tempo,with a catchy lead guitar throughout the song. The vocal parts on the refrain part on "Fountain Of Frozen Blood" Is something I find quite enjoyable and suits the track very well.

The other part of the EP contains 2 tracks "Istårn" and the title track "Downfall Of The Gods. The first one starts of with a cool fuzzy guitar/bass riff and slowly builds up.

"Downfall Of The Gods" Starts with a real thrash riff and is probably the fastest track on this release,and agin I have to say that I really enjoy the way the make the mid-parts in the track which is extremely catchy with some "clean" vocals & some whispering.

The production is overall quite good and I think these guys can get far in the future.
A full-length is set to be released in early 2012.
