Placing a track named "Final Journey" first
might seem slightly strange but the two-man band Godgory have always been a
band following their own path no matter what everyone else thinks and they
continue to do so. Pushing black metal over the edge is the motto of Godgory
but the term black metal doesn't really do their very atmospheric way of
playing justice. Obscure dark metal with a black melancholic touch might be a
more adequate description. Whatever you choose to call their music they are
one of the most interesting and unconventional bands to leave the frosty
ground of Sweden. Their new album is no more conventional than their previous
efforts and it shows both sides of Godgory. Sometimes the music is aggressive
and powerful with black growling and then it falls into an almost ethereal
state with spoken vocals. This duality is the driving force of the whole album
that is rounded off with a great eerie track called "Holy War" which is more
straight-forward and riff-based than most of the other songs. If you prefer
atmosphere in front of speed then the new album from Godgory will satisfy your
needs. Their music is very abstract and hard to grip but once you get into the
right mood you learn how to appreciate the greatness of their
compositions.
