Draugurrinn are a solo project from Sweden that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording goes for a mixture of dark ambient, folk and ritualistic drone and this is a review of his 2022 album "Minningar úr Undirheimum" which was released by Nordvis Produktion.
Dark ambient style synths which also use a variety of many different sounding keys start off the album along with some atmospheric sounding drones a few seconds later. At times the music also goes into more of a ritualistic direction while percussion can also be heard in certain sections of t he recording and also adds in more shamanistic and tribal touches.
Grim voices can also be heard briefly and also shows an influence of black metal while the music also brings in a very ancient pagan orientated atmosphere. Melodic chants can also be heard briefly along with the songs also adding in a great amount of folk instruments along with all of the tracks also being very long and epic in length and also sounding very different from each other, female vocals can also be heard briefly.
On this recording Draugurrinn takes dark ambient, drone, folk music and ritual and mixes them together to create a very diverse album. The production sounds very dark while the song themes focus on Stone Age and Scandinavian Pagan Rituals.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Draugurrinn and if you are a fan of dark ambient, drone, folk and ritual, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Minnigar". 8 out of 10.
