NettleCarrier is freezing cold, satanic black metal at its
best. It’s true, it’s Norwegian. Starring T. Ciekals (Djevel, Ljå), Mannevond
(Koldbrann, Urgehal) and Dirge Rep (Orcustus, Gehenna, Gorgoroth, Enslaved),
this band has a great future ahead. The 7” vinyl “To Strangle The Hero Of
Heaven”, released in 2007, was an eye opener for the underground scene and
NettleCarrier is now ready to release their self-titled debut album September
21st 2012. NettleCarrier was formed in 2004 when T. Ciekals, at the time member
of the band “Ljå”, moved to Oslo
and teamed up with Mannevond from the infamous “Koldbrann”. “I had been in
contact with Mannevond a few years back and we were both fans of each others
bands.” – T. Ciekals. In 2002, Ljå and Koldbrann released a split, which marked
the beginning of an eight year long journey. They had a burning desire to
create a black metal band that did not sound like any other band, but with an
older and more sinister sound. However, due to obligations to other bands and
projects the plans developed slowly and almost stopped for a while. When Vold
joined the band on drums things changed and the speed picked up for a short
while. This resulted in the 7” vinyl "To Strangle The Hero Of Heaven"
released by ”Sathanas In Gloriam Productions”. Shortly after, Vold left the
band When Mannevond started Urgehal and T. Ciekals formed ”Djevel,
NettleCarrier was put on ice for almost three years. “I left Ljå in 2007 to
focus on Djevel and Mannevond was busy with Urgehal, but NettleCarrier wasn’t
dead, only buried for a while. – T. Ciekals. After the Djevel album was
released, T. Ciekals was finally able to focus on NettleCarrier again. In 2010,
Dirge Rep joined the band on drums and they made the decision to record a
full-length album. “"I liked the 7" and I also wrote the lyrics for
the songs, so i was more than willing to join the band when I was asked"–
Dirge Rep. Without the possibility of rehearsing together, as the band was
based both in Oslo and Stavanger, NettleCarrier went in Caliban Studios with
Ruben Willem as producer to record the album without ever being in the same room
together. “I just sent the demoes of the songs to Dirge and Mannevond and I was
certain that there would be no problem to just meet up in the studio and record
the songs. Dirge Rep, being an extremely talented drummer, did all the songs in
10 hours without ever rehearsing. That’s possession for you!” - T. Ciekals. The
name NettleCarrier means spreader of death and the self-titled album contains
seven crushing tracks of pitch black, satanic black metal. The extremely
talented artist Truls Espedal made the cover art for the album. NettleCarrier’s
self-titled debut is out via Indie Recordings September 21st 2012.
I like the fact that this album has no intro and goes
straight into the epic black metal of the first track, “The Boiling Blood.” I
like the guitars on this track as they are very grim. The slow part half way
through was evil sounding as well. I’m not sure what “Paa Vaare Paaler deres
hoder” means, but I know it has to do with head. The opening riff is a little
repetitive taking up two minutes of this track. The part after is really dark
and slow and the voice over top made it even more so. I kind of wish the riffs
were a little more different since this track is nearly seven minutes long. The
next track “I Helvete Kristus Skal Forgaa,” meaning “In Hell, Christ Will
Perish,” has very catchy guitars. The riff half way through was very old school
black metal, which was amazing.
The beginning riff with the faint scream was nice to start
off “Naar Han Vaakner,” or “When He Wakes.” The track seems slower than the
rest but it doesn’t take away from the grim black feel. The bit half way
through with the faint painful voices was very creepy but great. The drum bit
to start off “Demoriel” was nice and goes right into the catchy feel of the
grim riffs. The bit two thirds of the way in was very menacing and I like how
the drums flowed with the riff.
“Cup Of Lethe” is a very short track, but it is brutal the
whole way through. I especially like the riff near the end of it. To end the
album we have “Bundet Til Masten” or “Tied to the Mast” in English. This track
starts with a very cold and evil riff, which is a great way to end the album.
There are catchy riffs throughout but they also keep a very dark feel. The riff
that played out the album is definitely my favourite riff on the album.
This is definitely a very refreshing album after the storm
of doom metal that flooded out earlier this month. It was nice to be able to
review some black metal for a change. With members from various popular bands
this is a super group you don’t want to miss. I recommend picking up this album
if you like black metal.
