Varulv
Kerker, Todt Und Teyfl
Talheim Records
Kerker, Todt Und Teyfl is the black metal album that will give you 100% meaning of what this genre has always been about since the beginning, especially for old continent like Europe.
Album consists of 11 tracks which are perfidious and raw form of black metal that you are about to hear and experience. It has songs of dense darkness from guitar sound, shrieking vocals and plenty of classic, one-pedal black metal drumming. All of it will be your light and guidance throughout the album. In few tracks, you can get a taste of tagelharpa which is the instrument where Varulv has chosen to express its nature by giving it folky and gloomy character. These moments will truly throw your imagination into the hopelessness and darkness of Europe, as it was in the Dark Ages.
This is very grim album that builds its quality through the high tone of guitars - Der Leichenfresser. The band usually plays songs as mid-long, atmospheric guitar passages-Erwachen, Der Rattenpakt. Some tracks sound more furious and pacing is faster - In Schwarz Gehüllt, but album is not really much aggressive. Generally band has no desire of being fastest or cruellest black metal band on the world; they merge all harsh elements black metal is known for, which gave their songs possibly grimmest atmosphere they could think of, it really works.
You should check very bleak black metal song Des Scharfrichters Pflicht in which some guitars seem to be linked to (in)famous Funeral March tune. Classic punk-black metal song is Alter Pfad with simple drum beats and guitar leads that feel I begin to be succumbed to. A bit more chaotic track is Am Totentisch. Erwachen, guitar-wise is very atmospheric-they do not need keyboards to work it out for their music.
It`s black metal album that is basically good for what it is. Varulv plays songs that are very appealing to my senses, fill them grey. It`s very important to have an album like Kerker, Todt Und Teyfl to which you can always come back knowing that it will give you 100% black metal songs where there is no place for bullshit nor glimpses of temporary music trends, only purest form of black metal.
"Kerker, Todt und Teyfl" comes with German lyrics and vocals, and it`s a concept of the impure professions prostitution, executioner and undertaker.
