Vatnett Viskar – Settler

Post Black Metal. Can’t say I was intrigued by the description at first, although it was also described as “Atmospheric”. So let’s give Vatnett Viskar a try. The base is the atmospheric kind of Black Metal you hear from the US lately, yet they are blending it with certain alternative or experimental approaches (Sludge is one of them) as well as distorted vocals which are emphasizing the Post label. Post Cascadian Black Metal? Maybe, but I do have to say it doesn’t move me. “Settler” is meant for the ones who are open-minded and enjoyed the last Deafhaven for example. (Ricardo)
