Norse - All Is Mist And Fog

Review by Ifeoma Adeyinka

Norse's album "All is Mist and Fog" is a haunting and atmospheric work of art that transports the listener to a mystical world of ancient folklore and mythology. The band's unique blend of black metal, folk, and ambient music creates a sonic landscape that is both beautiful and unsettling.

The album opens with the haunting instrumental track "The Divine Light," which sets the mood for the rest of the album. The use of traditional folk instruments such as the fiddle and the flute adds a layer of authenticity to the music, while the distorted guitars and blast beats give it a modern edge.

One standout track is "Drowned in Moonlight," which features the ethereal vocals of frontwoman A. Deadwood. Her voice floats above the music, adding an otherworldly quality that is both mesmerizing and eerie.

The album's title track, "All is Mist and Fog," is a slow-burning masterpiece that builds to a crescendo of swirling guitars and pounding drums. The use of atmospheric soundscapes and eerie chanting adds to the sense of foreboding that permeates the album.
