With , cement the validity of the second phase of their career. The Norwegian band's first three albums -- especially 2013's -- were widely hailed for their vigorous amalgam of Scandinavian black metal and thrashy party rock. Fronted by guttural wildman , their "black & roll" approach was more power than dour, injecting some fun into a traditionally gloomy scene. When both and drummer called it quits in 2018, many fans feared the party had come to an end. Their comeback album, 2020's , was something of a revelation. Incoming sticksman slotted into the instrumental lineup seamlessly and 's new frontman proved himself a more-than-worthy successor, bringing a newfound melodicism that bolstered the band's already-hooky riffage.

Despite their increasing global popularity, the band still sings entirely in Norwegian, this time digging into obscure regional history and lore to create something even better. 's fairly even clean/scream vocal split dovetails neatly with 's triple-guitar battery of , and , who have rarely sounded so in sync with each other. While there is much to love about (including its title track), have made an instant classic in "Skoggangr," a black & roll banger that is as infectious as it is rowdy. ~ Timothy Monger
