It doesn't really show these days but the
truth is that there is more to Norwegian music today than Dimmu Borgir and
Immortal. When digging your way through the music scene you may come across
this somewhat weird band called Grøde. When looking at the song titles
you may guess that this is yet another black metal band but I can tell you for
sure that these guys don't play black metal at all! Instead they play a mix
of melancholic pop music and gothic rock with some metal touches. Since they
have a very decent vocalist they actually sound pretty good. The lyrics are
seemingly sorrowful and depressive in their nature which means that fans of
gothic rock should not be disappointed (well, I guess most of you don't
understand Norwegian but still...). The most important asset Groøde is
in possession of at the moment is without a doubt the vocalist and I think
they should try to develop the vocals further in the future, perhaps by
varying more between different vocal styles. I would also like to see stronger
song structures than the current ones. This is an interesting band and I wish
them all the best for the future.
