Modgudr ‎"Rebirth Of The Ancient Spirit" CD

Limited 100 copies!! Black Metal From Germany

Modgudr are a duo form Germany that has had music reviewed before in this zine and plays a very raw and old school form of black  metal and this is a review of their 2022 album "Return Of The Ancient Spirit" which will be released later in January by  Wolfmond  Production. Rain and thunder sounds start off the album along with a brief use of battle horns before going into a heavier direction.  When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw  feeling and the riffs also add in a decent amount of  melody. Vocals are done in mostly a grim black metal style while the songs also  add in a decent mixture of slow,  mid  paced  and  fast  parts.  Battle  sounds  can  also be   heard  briefly  along  with  a  small  amount  of  spoken  word  parts  as  well  as  the  solos  and  leads  also  being  done  in  a  very  melodic  style,  the  songs  also  add  in  a  great  amount  of  90's  influences  and  some  of  the  riffing  also  adds  in  a  touch  of  death  metal  and  as  the  album  progresses  a  brief  use  of  clean  playing  and  folk  instruments  can  be  heard  before  returning  back  to  a heavier  direction. On  this  recording  Modgudr  plays  a  style  of  black  metal t hat  is  very  raw  and  old  school  sounding  in  the  90's  tradition  as  well  as  mixing  in  some  touches  of  death  and  thrash  metal  to create  a  very  diverse  recording.  The  production  sounds  very  raw  and  raw  while  the  lyrics  are  written  in  a  mixture  of  English  and  German  and  cover  Paganism,  Death  and  Darkness  themes. In  my  opinion  this  is  another  great  sounding  recording  from  Modgudr  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  raw  and  old  school  black  metal,  you  should  check  out this  album.
