Angry Metal Guy<p><a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/vildhjarta-dar-skogen-sjunger-under-evighetens-granar-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Vildhjarta – Där skogen sjunger under evighetens granar Review</a></p><p><i>By Dear Hollow</i></p><p>You could make the case that <strong>Vildhjarta</strong>’s third full-length is too late to be relevant. There are few that djent as hard as the Swedes, and their own influence exists in pockets of tone-abusing youngsters and diehard veterans who just keep releasing shit: <strong>Tesseract</strong>, <strong>Periphery</strong>, and <strong>Animals As Leaders</strong>, for example. I’ve always thought that <strong>Vildhjarta</strong> is the more curious <strong>Humanity’s Last Breath</strong>, utilizing a similarly crushingly heavy bone-to-dust djent tone, dark atmosphere, and vocal attack,<a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/vildhjarta-dar-skogen-sjunger-under-evighetens-granar-review/#fn-217213-1" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">1</a> but with a shimmering ethereality more akin to <strong>Uneven Structure</strong> or older <strong>The Contortionist</strong>, heaven and hell alike. Regardless, you can bet your bottom dollar that <strong>Vildhjarta</strong> djents. Hard.</p><p><strong>Vildhjarta</strong> has a fervent fanbase in spite of having relatively little music to speak of. Having coined the mysterious “thall!” battle cry and influencing a ton of “djentlemen,” <em>Där skogen sjunger under evighetens granar</em> is only their third full-length. The influential concept album <em>Måsstaden</em> was a landmark of djenty deathcore, but was immediately left almost entirely unanswered (apart from the <em>Thousands of Evils</em> EP in 2013) until 2021 with the release of <em>Måsstaden under vatten</em> (“seagull city underwater”). That album rekindled what made the act so formidable to begin with: downtuned choppy djent riffs, reverb-laden leads that sway between dissonant and hyper-melodic, and staccato overlapping rhythms. <em>Där skogen sjunger under evighetens granar</em> is undeniably <strong>Vildhjarta</strong> in this way, although it benefits from its more playful approach, streamlined songwriting, heightened atmosphere, and deepened weight, but it won’t change your mind about <strong>Vildhjarta</strong> in its one-note and overlong glory.</p><p></p><p><strong>Vildhjarta</strong> has always been unique for its ability to take the novelty and highlights of djent and make an experience out of it. <em>Där skogen sjunger under evighetens granar</em> is the most pristine and positive of the band’s discography, reflecting its sanguine title,<a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/vildhjarta-dar-skogen-sjunger-under-evighetens-granar-review/#fn-217213-2" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">2</a> compared to the ominous ambiance pervading the dark fairytales of the <em>Måsstaden</em> suite. While its predecessors dove headfirst into the darkness, <em>Där skogen..</em>. seems to embrace a more dreamy attitude reminiscent of post-rock bands like <strong>Sigur Rós</strong> or <strong>Hammock</strong>. Yes, the Swedes have amped the density and weight of their djent, but have also raised its hell-gazing heads to the cosmos. There are certainly moments of ominous dissonance (“Där mossan möter havet”), but most tracks feel downright cheery by comparison. Toss in some well-placed vocals that range from dreamy to powerful (“Sargasso,” “Där mossan möter havet,” “Kristallfågel,” “? regnet, the ?,” “Viktlös &amp; evig”), and stargazing to djent never seemed so apt.</p><p></p><p>That being said, if drop-tuned djenty beatdowns interspersed with reverb-y leads, wild runs, and synth overlays are not your thing, that’s basically what <strong>Vildhjarta</strong> does for fifty-six minutes straight, which is downright brief compared to its predecessor’s eighty-one minutes. One riff to rule them all: variety and differentiation are not names of the game for <strong>Vildhjarta</strong>. Even tempo remains at a comfortable 90 bpm for the majority of the album; sudden blastbeats give the illusion of speed. Vilhelm Bladin’s harsh vocals remain predictable death growls with a climax of a shriek here and there aside from sparse, almost-spoken word (“Hösten som togs ifrån mig,” “Den spanska känslan”), although the cleans have much more range. Guitar work remains entirely predictable, aside from the pairing of melancholy plucking and its punchy polyrhythm call-back (“Viktlös &amp; evig”) or some almost classical noodling (“Den spanska känslan”).</p><p>Yes, <strong>Vildhjarta</strong> is an experience of surreal proportions, particularly compared to the legions of their super-serious genremates. <em>Där skogen sjunger under evighetens granar’s</em> pristine atmosphere stands out among even its own shadowy discography, although it retains all the act’s trademarks. The act works better as a trio, as it forces them to cut the fluff into what works and what doesn’t. That being said, it does not justify why you should spend nearly an hour getting a djent concussion only to gaze up at the stars through newly encephalopathic eyes. Old habits die hard, and while mysterious and enigmatic, the Swedes’ formula is predictable, if not hella fun for the initiated. Ultimately, if you’re a fan, <strong>Vildhjarta</strong> is above-average djent; if you’re not a fan, <strong>Vildhjarta</strong> is average djent.</p> <p><strong>Rating:</strong> 2.5/5.0<br><strong>DR:</strong> 4 | <strong>Format Reviewed:</strong> 320 kb/s mp3<br><strong>Label:</strong> <a href="https://www.centurymedia.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Century Media Records</a><br><strong>Websites:</strong> <a href="http://vildhjarta.bandcamp.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">vildhjarta.bandcamp.com</a> | <a href="http://vildhjartastore.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">vildhjartastore.com</a> | <a href="http://facebook.com/vildhjartaofficial" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">facebook.com/vildhjartaofficial</a><br><strong>Releases Worldwide:</strong> May 30th, 2025</p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/2-5/" target="_blank">#25</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/2025/" target="_blank">#2025</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/animals-as-leaders/" target="_blank">#AnimalsAsLeaders</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/atmospheric-metal/" target="_blank">#AtmosphericMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/century-media-records/" target="_blank">#CenturyMediaRecords</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/dar-skogen-sjunger-under-evighetens-granar/" target="_blank">#DärSkogenSjungerUnderEvighetensGranar</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/deathcore/" target="_blank">#Deathcore</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/djent/" target="_blank">#Djent</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/hammock/" target="_blank">#Hammock</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/humanitys-last-breath/" target="_blank">#HumanitySLastBreath</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/may25/" target="_blank">#May25</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/periphery/" target="_blank">#Periphery</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/review/" target="_blank">#Review</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/reviews/" target="_blank">#Reviews</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/sigur-ros/" target="_blank">#SigurRÃS</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/swedish-metal/" target="_blank">#SwedishMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/tesseract/" target="_blank">#TesseracT</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/the-contortionist/" target="_blank">#TheContortionist</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/uneven-structure/" target="_blank">#UnevenStructure</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/vildhjarta/" target="_blank">#Vildhjarta</a></p>

Angry Metal Guy<p><a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/yer-metal-is-olde-dark-tranquillity-character/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Yer Metal is Olde: Dark Tranquillity – Character</a></p><p><i>By Grymm</i></p><p>Once heralded as a promising hotbed of melodic death metal goodness, Gothenburg, Sweden wasn’t quite the same back in 2005 as it was in the mid-to-late 1990s. <strong>In Flames</strong> was busy chasing the nü-metal dream, trading twin guitar melodies and acoustic folklore and beauty for jumpsuits, dreadlocks, and simplistic riffage. <strong>At The Gates</strong>, once the spearhead of the entire Gothenburg movement, was long gone at that point, and wouldn’t reunite for another couple of years. It was up to <strong>Dark Tranquillity </strong>to put the city back on the map, and despite their <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/indefensible-positions-grymm-defends-projector/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">own dalliances in moody goth territory</a>, it would take 2002’s <em>Damage Done</em> to marry their trademark melodic sensibilities with their newfound love for electronic influences and dark motifs. <span>However, with their few prior albums being all over the map, nobody knew what they had in store for them when <em>Character</em> reared its head in January </span>2005.</p><p>Thankfully, <em>Damage Done</em> was a damn riffy, heavier beast. I remember picking up <em>Character </em>at my local Newbury Comics, right up the street from the Staples where I worked during a lunch break on a particularly bad day, and I was blown away by how “The New Build” didn’t mess around at all. With Anders Jivarp blasting away, and both Niklas Sundin and Martin Henriksson hurling riffs and melodies at you at lightning speed, “The New Build” would set the tone straight away that sure, this is <em>like</em> its predecessor, but it was far nastier and uglier. Well, at least from the first couple of songs, anyway.</p><p>From “The Endless Feed” on forward, the moodiness that perpetuated 1999’s dark horse <em>Projector</em> would make its reappearance, but rather than dwelling in sorrow and despair, it would instead converge with the band’s refound ferocity, channeling a completely different animal altogether that would later become a <strong>Dark Tranquillity</strong> trademark. From there, future live classics like “Lost to Apathy” and album closer (and the only “ballad” on here) “My Negation” would further cement Sundin and Henriksson as a guitar duo just as worthy of praise as the classic duos before them. There’s not a bad moment on <em>Character</em>, with each song making a strong case for a live appearance, and the knowledge that no matter what the band chooses for their live set, it’s a surefire bet that anything from <em>Character</em> would go down swimmingly.</p><p><br>And a giant part of that is due to how <em>Character</em> manages to tie up everything that <strong>Dark Tranquillity</strong> created up to that point into a tidy, neat bow. While it lacked Mikael Stanne’s moody crooning, the intensity of his growls was never in question, and his savage performance acts as a thread throughout the album. Otherwise, the blazing melodies that were captured during <em>Skydancer</em>, fellow YMIO inductee <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/yer-metal-olde-dark-tranquillity-gallery/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><em>The Gallery</em></a>, and <em>The Mind’s I</em> were honed to an impeccable sharpness while the moodier vibes from <em>Projector</em> and <em>Haven</em> blended better than before, especially with a much heavier backdrop. This was a culmination of what made <strong>Dark Tranquillity</strong> great.</p><p>And I could say that about any of <strong>DT</strong>’s mid-period. <em>Damage Done</em> was the about-face return from more gothic wanderings, and <em>Character</em>’s immediate follow-up <em>Fiction</em> would further tinker with the winning formula, with a welcome return of Stanne’s singing voice. But <em>Character</em>… well, <em>Character</em> hit just right, during the right time, and at the right intensity. It was the perfect storm of melodic precision, death metal heft, and electronic experimentation that was the ultimate soundtrack to long work nights, eager drives home, and repeated listens with friends. <em>Character</em> was, and still is, something special, and now it’s rightfully in the Halls of the Olde, where it belongs.</p><p> </p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/2005/" target="_blank">#2005</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/at-the-gates/" target="_blank">#AtTheGates</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/century-media-records/" target="_blank">#CenturyMediaRecords</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/character/" target="_blank">#Character</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/dark-tranquillity/" target="_blank">#DarkTranquillity</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/in-flames/" target="_blank">#InFlames</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/melodic-death-metal/" target="_blank">#MelodicDeathMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/swedish-metal/" target="_blank">#SwedishMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/yer-metal-is-olde/" target="_blank">#YerMetalIsOlde</a></p>
