Album Review: Death Wolf - III: Östergötland

StarStarStarHalf Star

The Swedish band are revealed to be much more

At first glance, Death Wolf’s third album doesn’t really stick out, kicking off with melancholy, Bathory-inspired extreme metal akin to Primordial. As the album continues, however, the Swedish band are revealed to be much more. Death Wolf are a melting pot of different influences, occasionally approaching doom metal atmospheres and tearing them down, while the punk influence is most noticeable in the thick, grooving bass that sits beneath the vicious guitars and vocals. Viking metal epics sit side-by-side with Converge-style moshers, as breakdowns and D-beats give way to nylon strings and Nordic chants.
