Sweden’s epic black metallers return from their Odin Sleep

WHILE THIS MELODIC black metal trio are named after the infamous (and also just slightly gross) boat made entirely from the fingernails and toenails of the dead that features in Norse mythology, nowadays they have more in common with the Allfather, as Naglfar have enjoyed an Odin Sleep for the last eight years, at least as far as making records is concerned. Cerecloth sees these slumbering giants of the subgenre return to action with a roar, though, and they rarely pause for breath over nine tracks.

Recorded at guitarist Marcus Norman’s Wolf’s Lair Studio, Naglfar’s seventh opus is a ferocious beast that goes straight for the jugular. Marcus’s partner in axewielding, Andreas Nilsson, economically describes the central theme will certainly satisfy the hunger of many of their long-starved fans.
