Black Metal / Atmospheric Black Metal
Bygdsiljum, Sweden
Although, concerning musical style or genre, Efterlämnde I Sorg may be the odd one out of this Flashlight episode, the album also describes a deeply emotional and melancholic journey. Scratching the barriers between raw and atmospheric black metal, Swedish artist Tårfödd dives through the gates of grief and isolation. Efterlämnde I Sorg (Swedish: Left in Grief) is a therapeutic transformation from pain to new strength. Melancholy and darkness pair with freezing cold and frantic tempo. Amidst this raging thunderstorm, a haunted soul fights their way out of the dark.
