Grafvitnir seems to have found a formula that works best for them, Swedish Black Metal with the melodic approach we all know of acts like Dissection, Sacramentum, early Setherial and Nagflar. A formula that works very well, and with ‘Tunes of Sitra Ahra’ there is no difference.
And although I would recommend albums like ‘Obeisance to a Witch Moon’, ‘Venenum Scorpionis’ and ‘Death’s Wings Widespread’ first before ‘Tunes of Sitra Ahra’, it’s because I consider the discography of Grafvitnir as superb, not because this is a bad or mediocre album. Not for one bit, it’s still absolutely good.
