Helrunar
Helrunar is a Norse-inspired black metal band
from Germany, with two releases under their belts
as of this writing, the second being that reviewed here,
2007's
Baldr Ok Iss.
The overall style is prime Norwegian black metal,
though thankfully it doesn't suffer from the non-production
or messiness of the early pioneers.
Instead this alternates between mid-paced and faster
black metal that often brings to mind
Moonfog
bands like
Satyricon
or
Khold,
especially given the icy, razor-sharp guitar tone.
There's also the odd clean vocal and some acoustic
passages to add a bit of variety to the proceedings.
This certainly isn't groundbreaking, but it's clearly
above average for the genre, very nicely done.
