Review

Today we’re absolutely excited to bring you no bullshit, no frills black metal. Not that there’s anything wrong with any other type of black metal but sometimes you just want to cut to the chase right? Gvla brings us all this on their new album “Invidia”. It’s the perfect album to match either with your cold winter days or even a warm summer day when you long for winter’s cold. ‘Invidia‘ is actually rather unrelenting from front to back and up to the final song, just keeps your attention. There’s a bit of a “crunch” to ‘Invidia‘ that harkens back to the first and second eras of black metal but more modern. While it’s less way focused on the usual lo-fi that black metal loves, Gvla uses modern production in a beautiful way throughout that doesn’t abandon the overall feel that makes black metal, black metal.
