Black Death Metal, Melodic Black Metal, 2007-es album.
Limited edition TISZTA színű bakelit lemez LP újra kiadás változat, 2026.
„Harvest” betrays all the tell tale signs of their original sound in unholy alliance with the massive thrust of later years. True to the Swedish formula of bringing the harsh bleakness of the black style together with the technical prowess and high-speed assault of death metal, Naglfar have created another masterpiece of their genre. This is the album every fan of Swedish black metal has spend years waiting for: An abundance of icy harmonies and epic melodies swirls out of the skilled fingers of those magicians of the strings Andreas Nilsson and Marcus „Vargher” Norman.
Subtle keyboard sounds create a sense of vast spaces and endless vistas. Whipped into frenzy by Mattias Grahn‘s relentless pounding of his drums front-man Kristoffer W. Olivius adds his own raucous chords to this cyclone of musical destruction. The dark charismatic singer spits his utterly misanthropic lyrics with venomous vocals straight into the face of mankind. Yet all their fury is shrouded into an uncanny majestic beauty that delights and shocks at the same time. Yes, Naglfar have truly returned to the gut-felt glory of „Vittra”, but on „Harvest” they have the experienced maturity to get it right.
„Harvest” grips the listener firmly into its jaws and never lets loose. Capturing the imagination by a black romantic atmospheric, the Swedes engrave hooklines deeply into the brain and echoes of their sparkling melodies return to haunt for days. All this despite the new albums fierceness and savage brutality. „Harvest” is not for the meek nor the weak. It is a statement of hatred and disgust towards humanity.
Now Naglfar have come full circle: „Harvest” puts the band firmly back on the throne of Swedish black metal. Whether you fall to fierce onslaught of „”The Darkest Road” or get entranced by the majestic melodies of the epic title-track „Harvest” you will feel the black magic of the old days returning with the added power of years of musicianship gained. It takes no great prophet to predict, that Naglfar will finally reap the long deserved success with this album: „Harvest”.
