Fjellfolk returns with an unbelievable weight on Trick or Treat, a heavy metal monster that drags the listeners into the dark forest of folklore and legend! Their tenth full-length album makes demons, banshees, vampires, witches and old gods pure musical energy and makes a concept record that is not only dramatic, but also frighteningly alive.
The first minutes of the song “Demons” suggest aggressiveness formed by the screeching sound of the guitar, bludgeoning drums, and the powerful style of the vocals that seem to have broken through the storm of the storm like a cry of a warrior. It is harsh, inexorable, and to shake you right upside down!
By the time Skeletons comes on, the album has fully adopted the power of monstrosity. The crash of cymbals sounds like the rattling of bones, the churning of guitar is dark and heavy weight, and the vocals are an ancient ritual chant. The song really reminds like a graveyard reborn!
The final composition, “Shapeshifters,” heads in a more melodic direction but retains all its power as it combines shimmering guitars and soaring vocals in a final performance that swerves between beauty and unrefined cruelty with breaththtakingly.
The most outstanding thing about Trick or Treat is that it is a masterpiece in terms of storytelling. The songs literally transform into the creature upon which they are about, and the ancient folklore is brought to life and breath!
Fjällfolk combines the elements of heavy metal, power metal, progressive energy, and punk attitude into the album that is bold, playful, and wild, and does not regret it. It is folk lore and it has fangs and it is unbelievable!
