Till Makabert Vasen, Par Gustafsson's third full-length as Bergraven, is like raising a kid and then having to be big enough to recognize when that same kid is better than you at running, shooting, rafting, gathering, football americano, sleding, oki noodling, and chicks. Till Makabert Vasen, well encapsulates the mood/progressive nature of Dodsvisioner (Bergraven's previous full-length) and takes it one step further. This time with a more diverse range of vocal treatments an   [ read more ]

Bergraven turns the traditional blast-and-flay aesthetic of 'frost bitten grimness' on its ear and comes at you with sweeping riff dirges, winding cinematic passages, melodic guitar interludes, tortured-yet-vaguely authoritarian and Germanic vocal overtones and - get this - ambient pedal steel excursions. All of which is enough to make your head spin, especially if you're down with weirdness. Dodsvisioner is not your typical black metal experience, and Bergraven is not your standard Swedish killing m   [ read more ]
