Susperia is a band that most fans of Norwegian
black metal probably already know of. Although this is their first album the
members of the band are by no means newcomers in the metal world. The main
character of the band is no other than Tjodalv from Old Man´s Child and Dimmu
Borgir. The band was formed in 1999 under the name Seven Sins but they had to
change because of another band with the same name. After recording their first
and only demo "Illusions Of Evil" in the end of 1999 they were offered a
multi-record deal from Nuclear Blast and this album clearly shows why. This is
no regular black metal and there are absolutely no keyboards which makes them
something completely different from both Dimmu Borgir and Old Man´s Child.
Otherwise the music is closer to Old Man´s Child with the thrashier style of
black metal that Galder masters so well. Tjodalv has without a doubt also
learnt a thing or two and this is definitely as good as the early Old Man´s
Child albums, if not even a little better. The music never gets boring; the
guitar riffs keeps changing all the time, the drumming is very complex and the
vocals are varied with everything from whispers and clean vocals to regular
black metal screeches. Susperia will be around for some time now and there is
a lot of great music to look forward to I assure you. Susperia has managed to
produce the best album so far this year with the help of Peter Tägtgren and
Lars Szöke at Abyss Studio in Ludvika,
Sweden.
