This could be compared to something I remember reading somewhere that the old black metal bands from Norway all sounded like some form of new folk music played very differently from old folk music. It's just wonderful black metal meditation material. Retrieved 28 January

A simple track, lengthy track almost 10 minutes which continues to grow as it proceeds beyond its midpoint, and some fine acoustic strings emerge alongside the rhythm, only to signal a glorious, charging riff to come. Kampfar have a distinct and very folk inspired sound. They sound much less in the Viking kampafr nowadays, but thats okay, I like this darker, more streamlined Kampfar very much.
,ampfar was released worldwide January 27, No discomfort though, that riff is a killer!

Perhaps out of all of the bands in this style they are the only ones who consistently and truly have that sort of sound almost all the time. Many times they feel like listening to an ancient folk tradition simply hooked up to electric instruments.

The album ka,pfar released November 13, Originally written for http: It was given Norway's Spellemann award for best achievement in the 'Metal' genre.
Maybe if I try to be overly critic I would say that the vocals might be a bit dull at times, but still it's the characteristic sound of Dolk meaning "dagger" and Kgass would not like to change that. Most of these elements were already present as early as the band's debut album, but the tone here is lusher, not as sharp.
Limited ammounts of clean vocal atmospherical choires add yet another little extra pagan feel to the music. In all, a very soothing track, one could close their eyes to it and sleep the sleep of tall trees, mountains and rolling white hills.
This is a great record, and was a great return after the years of absence.
Kampfar – Kvass
Wikimedia Commons has media related to Kampfar. This disc is comprised of 45 minutes of professionally played raw black metal and will entertain you for quite a while. For me personally, this record molded into a part of my soul as soon as it flowed out of my speakers the first time. As such, Kampfar are without kampfat doubt among the truly unique bands to come out of Norway and it's very good to hear something new from them that is still very good and know that some bands from Norway can evolve while still staying true to their roots and their basic sound.
The album is composed of six different, relatively long tracks that slowly build up in intensity and flow together nicely.

Opening up with an almost hypnotic drum and giutar intro I knew this album would hit the spot as soon as I played it the very first time. Re-releases of the two earlier Kampfar albums Mellom Skogkledde Aaser and Fra Underverdenen are imminent, and with any luck should lead to a wider audience for this rather overlooked and underrated Norwegian band.
Very little of that here, from time to time there are moments of major key riffing, but for the most part the guitars play in more minor key tones, while the drums keep a more desperate tone to the songs, providing a lot of structural tension.
And it never wears out its welcome, though it changes little in the first two minutes of the track, before a more powerful, dark surge storms through, accompanied by Dolk's snarling and some tasteful clean backing vocals. This statement has always stuck with me for a great deal of the Norwegian and perhaps Polish and Russian scenes as well bands had this sort of kampfqr Earthy approach to writing, where it was more based on inspiration then always trying to sound like someone jvass.
A little more than a year later, the band released their seventh full-length album Profan. Following the release of Fra UnderverdenenKampfar was put on hold. This release is a deeply atmospheric recording that will satisfy any fan of folk black metal.

The vocals are a great contrast, as they contribute the ugliness that the riffs simply do kmapfar have on this record. The band used the same studio and producer again for Heimgang in Write your own review. TaliesinJanuary 13th,
