Sweden's solo project Nordvargr has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a mixture of dark ambient, drone, minimalism, noise, industrial and techno and this is a review of his 2022 triple album "Resignation I-II-III" which was released by Cyclic Law.
Dark soundscapes and field recordings start off the album along with some ambient style synths a few seconds later. A great portion of the tracks are also very long and epic in length while programmed beats are also a very huge part of the recording and also bring in elements of techno and spoken word parts can also be heard at times.
A lot of the music also shows its roots in industrial while all of the tracks also sound very different from each other. Atmospheric sounding drones can also be heard in certain sections of the album along with a lot of the songs also being instrumentals and at times the recording also goes into more of a minimalist direction.
Noises can also be heard on some of the songs along with one track also introducing electric guitar sounds onto the recording as well as the screams also adding in a touch of black metal when they are utilized, as the album progresses the music also adds in more ritualistic touches and one song also adds in a small amount of melodic chants. The production sounds very dark while the songs themes, focus on occultism, nature and darkness.
In my opinion this is a very great sounding collection of songs from Nordvargr and if you are a fan of dark ambient, drone, minimalism, noise, industrial and techno and if you are a f an of those musical genres, you should check out this triple album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "311" "Among The Mountains And Rivers Flowing" "Where Serpents Appear" and "Evil Eyes impaled". 8 out of 10.
