Venenum Scorpionis

In 2017 Grafvitnir released their album in late December which meant it came out after I’d already made that years list. Lucky for them this time around I’ve had almost ten months to listen to Venenum Scorpionis and listen to it I have. Like every other Grafvitnir album you know what you’re going to get, they don’t stray very far from their formula of fast Swedish blackmetal. The guitars have their customary tone and the raspy almost hoarse vocals are a dead give away from the minute the album opens. My only complaint may just be that the vocals almost produce a fog over the recording anytime they are present, without vocals the instruments are fairly equally represented and you get a clear picture of what is happening, as soon as the vocals come in everything just gets a bit muddier (but revisiting their previous album this can probably be filed under feature not bug as far as the band is concerned). Regardless it’s a small complaint on an otherwise decent album.
