Ofermod is one of those bands I’ve followed over the years but it’s
never quite clicked with me, Drakosophia did though and it’s been on
a fairly even rotation since it’s release earlier this year. There
hasn’t been a huge change in style or sound, so I’m curious now to go
back over their back catalog to see what I overlooked or if perhaps it
just took small tweaks to finally make it click. The sound has taken a
rather large step forward, being fuller, richer, and crisper but
without sounding necessarily clean or clinical, but it’s in your face
in a way I’ve not felt on their previous releases. Further song
writing and composition has tightened up, especially the back half of
the release (starting with Zazas Zazas Nasatanada Zazas) which goes
from strength to strength. It will be interesting to see where this
goes next.
