This is a silly question, you're bound to be blown away by its freshness, sheer brutality and occult atmosphere. But how good is it? Also, you really pronounced Lucifer as Lu chi fer, Niklas Best viewed without Internet Explorer, in x resolution or higher.

mortuusinsomnis Ofermod - Thaumiel

As it stands, Thaumiel is a solid release and promises great things for the future. On a positive note, his vocals fit the more aggressive sound of the album quite well. This is how the album starts. On a album ofremod is much more death metal oriented, putting what is clearly a black metal song in the mix just makes it seem like the weird, red-headed step-child song. Without a second thought.

With a bit tighter song writing and further development of the orthodox religious death metal sound, Ofermod have the potential to release something monumental. Welcome to the newest offering of Ofermod, a Swedish black metal band who are known as one of the first of the orthodox black metal movement. There have been some exceptional albums this year but most of the albums I've heard only fit into one of the above categories for example Hell Militia, Behexen and Vorkreist would fit into the first category and Shining, Enslaved and Odermod Aus Nord would fit into the latter.

This version is much more powerful, showing different faces while retaining many qualities of the original version. After a four year wait, Ofermod return with their second full length set of praises to the forces of the Sitra Ahra.

After spending time with the album, the initial feeling of bizarreness has gone but some of his deliveries still do come across as strange. Ever-present drums while never overwhelming, twisted guitar riffs, varied tempos and sick vocals are that make this album what it is. You'll eventually get to the re-recording of "Chained to Redemption".

So as we march towards the end of the year I've been awaiting releases from some pretty spiffing bands to see if it would beat Mgla's 'With Hearts Towards None', it would appear my invocations have been received and delivered unto very satisfactorily with the new Ofermod, Hell Militia and Shining albums reviews for the latter following shortly. I've been waiting with bated breath for Ofermod's newest release after their previous excellent effort Tiamtu, the sinister Swedes have managed to follow it up with their best work yet and definitely one of the best albums I've heard this year.

Secondly, although this is an album contributing to black metal it is also an album that exists for itself and its own cause, whatever other praise may be showered upon the band is merely an added bonus and this can be seen with Ofermod's lack of interaction with the 'scene' as a whole, they want to proffer their sermons and that is all, unlike a band like Watain for example who have a similar belief system but are also dedicated to trying to spread their message to the masses or so they say, the lure of big bucks seems like a more likely reason.

Evil, occultish atmosphere fills the room as the listener wanders into the world of Thaumiel. When I first listened to the album, I thought he was drunk because of the strange tonal shifts. The absolute ofegmod of the album is the third track, amplifying everthing that were just introduced in the previous song. Should you listen to this album?

This has always been the case with Ofermod but I feel on this album they exemplify it more so than they have on any other album; the whole album feels incredibly ritualistic, the whole album is imbued with a darkness ofeermod has not been so definitively captured for some time and definitely not in anything I've heard this year.

Everything is more ritualistic, giving the album an atmosphere of being a thamuiel ceremony to the Dark Gods progressing as a concentration, culmination, and release of energy; the frequent use of chanting is a powerful addition as well.

Ofermod – Thaumiel Review

This album is a definite winner if we are to determine which is the best extreme metal record of This is not to say that I think anyone will enjoy the songs any less, they are still first class but I do believe that added depth is added when the whole experience can be absorbed and digested.

Musically the songs are what one would expect from Ofermod and there is not great departure with dissonant chords and lots of minor inflections throughout the album. Thaumiel is awash with atmosphere and dripping in malevolence, for those that don't know Ofermod are a Satanic band first and foremost, their music being an invocation to the dark gods; their ideology is based around the Kliffot as can be witnessed from the name Thaumiel the god at the top of the 'Tree of Death' from whom all other gods emanate.

The session musicians who appear in this album don't disappoint the listener either. This information may seem superfluous to your appreciation for Ofermod but to sound elitist to fully accept the glory of Ofermod one has to at least commend their ideals even if you don't align yourselves with their beliefs, the music is but one mere facet to Ofermod and whilst thoroughly enjoyable understanding their views and what they are preaching about adds another dimension to the music.

You may feel as the next song is out of place. The album is mostly a slow, lumbering leviathan with simplistic riffs weaving in and out of the bass and drums. The second track increases the tempo and shows the riffing capatibilities of Michayah.

The production is a whole lot different than on the previous releases, well made, more appropiate. There are a few issues I take with this release though that prevent me from giving it a higher score.
