Artist: Zargof
Album: Departure for the Cosmic Twilight
Label: Ars Magna Recordings
I was surprised when I read that the black metal trio Zargof hails from Brazil, a country not really known for producing black metal bands. If many people get the chance to listen to their recent re-release of "Departure for the Cosmic Twilight" on Ars Magna, that could definitely change. Zargof is a trio and play mid to fast paced black metal while still having an ambient side to it. Zargof is fronted by Bergelmir who handles keyboard, guitar and vocal duties on the album. He definitely proves that he can handle all three as his keyboard provides the perfect atmosphere for his raspy growls and mix of mid-paced riffs with furious tremolo picked onslaughts. While Eikthyrnir's bass wasn't really noticeable, Bellhharar's drumming was right out front. His mix of hyperspeed blasts and more simplistic and melodic beats weaves it's way through the music and gives it some real power. While the intro and outro are all keyboard, the other three songs on this album are really well played melodic black metal. Definitely an album to pick up!
