Mastermind Kristian Eivind Espedal aka Gaahl joined by selected collaborators returns with the band Trelldom expanding his artistic vision on the new highly anticipated release “…by the word…”.
“When This Was Young” courageously combines dissonance and poetry as enigmatic whispered vocals hold an imposing role emerging through cryptic melodic waves and visceral rhythmic patterns.
“I Speak Forgotten Voices” explores diverse music territories highlighting the flamboyant saxophone and conveying mystical vibes through the intricate grim guitar phrases destined to reach a primordial acme with blackened rhythmic twists fueled by hammering drums.
Disregarding any preconception the title track conjures ominous forces through the towering rhythmic dynamics and the uneasy guitar progressions showcasing remarkable black metal roots further emphasized by malevolent growls.
“The Word – Choose to Vanish” begins with mournful guitar tonalities evoking dismal feelings and ultimately evolving into significantly faster & chaotic rhythmic crescendos skillfully embellished by the eclectic saxophone and the consequent unexpected jazz flair.
Choosing an intriguing avant-garde approach far from any music trends Trelldom passionately creates hypnotizing soundscapes challenging the audience and spreading overwhelming darkness throughout “…by the word…”.
