Acoustic guitars start off the album and they also bring in elements of folk music and finger picking is also utilized at times while most of the music is instrumental and on the second track drums and bass guitars are added onto the recording and when vocals are utilized they are done in a grim black metal style.
Elements of metal can be heard in the heavier guitar riffing which also brings in melodies at times while guitar leads are also utilized briefly and some songs also add in touches of ambient and post rock and most of the tracks sound different from each other and as the album progresses the music gets more psychedelic and avant garde and a couple of the tracks are very long and epic in length and spoken word parts are also used briefly and he album closes with a cover of Burzun's "Hermodr A Helford".
JoDoden plays a musical style that is mostly rooted in folk, ambient and avant garde while also adding in some black metal elements at times to create a sound of his own and the production sounds very dark.
In my opinion JoDoden is a very great sounding avant garde mixture of folk and ambient with a touch of black metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this solo project. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Bottenlos" "Persiennaernas Portar" and "Hermodr A Helford". 8 out of 10.
