Pagan Black Metal, Black/Death Metal, 2014-es album.
Limited edition KAKI BARNA színű LP újra kiadás változat, 2023.
Kampfar is one of the original Norwegian Black Metal acts. Approaching 30 years of existence and having grown to become one of extreme music’s premier live outfits, Kampfar prevails and continue to be a force to be reckoned with. Releasing key albums that have both dominated and contributed to form the modern black metal scene as we know it today.
„”Djevelmakt”” reaffirms that Kampfar‘s music is timeless.
Djevelmakt was written in the first half of 2013, with the band doing a single live appearance at France’s Hellfest, and then recorded partly in the band’s new home town Bergen and partly in Parlby, Sweden. This time the band chose to work with Jonas Kjellgren, who also helped engineer Mare, with Peter Tägtgren being tasked with the mix. The setup that worked so brilliantly on Mare allowed the band to walk in and record in the most relaxed manner, allowing for a production that is as focused as before, although rougher and possibly even heavier than what we have heard from them before. For the first time in Kampfar’s history they have chosen to acquire pre-existing art for the design of the album.
The album cover itself is a 1981 oil painting by Polish artist Zdzislaw Beksinski, and the remaining design incorporates a second Beksinski painting, as well as a painting by English painter John Charles Dollman. The works of art, selected by the band before recording the album, helped influence the direction of the sound as well as the lyrics, while also functioning as a guide to the listener, with the lyrics mostly being written in Norwegian. Djevelmakt proves that over 25 years of existence does not dull the blade, but grinds it into a sharpness more scything than ever before.”
