De Ghörnt

Ungfell’s fourth full length De Ghörnt to some extent continues on the path musically laid out on Es grauet, so to my disappointment there is no return to the rawness and chaos of Mythen, Mären, Pestilenz but I can’t fault a band for moving on even if I do very much like the earlier sound. It diverges in that whereas the previous release had a very soft and warm sound we here have some slightly sharper edges here, which is very welcome. One of my favourite parts about Ungfell (and this actually holds over all their releases) is the drum sound, it’s always been clear and succinct without being overbearing. Vocals while not changed dramatically, are perhaps a bit more varied than before, we are also treated to a few bass solos (which I didn’t even reflect over until a few listens, but that can at least partially chalked up to my listening environment often being sub-optimal). I realize that there is a risk of recency bias in put this album not just on a year end list but this high up on it, perhaps next year I’ll do one of my rare retrospectives to see if time changed my opinion, as most years it has not I doubt t will this time either.
