DEN SAAKALDTE
“Faen i Helvete”
(Agonia)
Just try to imagine this: a black metal supergroup filled out by members of: Gorgoroth, 1349, Koldbrann and Nidingr. For the most part Den Saakaldte (The So-Called) sounds like what you’d expect, a hurricane of furious blasting beast and howling vocals but it’s the moments where they slow down and cut a bit looser with a more classic metal style groove and experiment with some interesting vocals on tracks like ” Som Et Arr På Sjelen” and “Endelost Ode” (with a classic Hellhammer/ Celtic Frost influence). This is where I am really attracted to their sound so I hope they will explore this direction further on future releases.
