Vanir has been churning out their own
brand of history-infused melodic death metal from Denmark for well over a
decade. They merge heavy, crushing riffage with massive tales of ancient
battles, myth, and destiny. They have steadily built up their arsenal as one of
the prominent extreme acts in their homeland, constantly charging onto sonic
battlefields with swords drawn and shields battered. Now they are back to wage
war once more with their newest assault, "Wyrd".
The newest album, "Wyrd",
dumps listeners straight into the trenches of humanity's bloodiest conflicts and
the unyielding grip of fate. We get a massive history lesson focused on warfare
and destruction. The visual representation on the cover art by David Troest
features the legendary Winged Hussars during the 1683 Battle of Vienna. The
music perfectly matches that scene of charging cavalry and clashing steel.
Tracks like "Never Surrender" and "Boudica" unleash a
relentless assault of driving guitars and thunderous drums, mirroring the chaos
of those ancient battlegrounds. Vanir delivers pure aggression mixed with huge epic
melodies.
This album simply kicks a massive
amount of ass. Vanir delivers supreme melodic death metal tailored for massive
mosh pits and headbanging sessions. The crushing intensity combined with
victorious melodies makes "Wyrd" a formidable release in their
catalog. The band brings pure fire and heavy metal thunder. They unleash what a
fan of historical war metal wants to hear, leaving total devastation in their
wake.
Score: 8.0
