EP Review: Dødsferd – Skotos (Transcending Obscurity Records)

Carl Fisher 1 min read

Greek black metal legends Dødsferd conjure up what’s arguably their best material yet. A follow-up EP to their landmark album ‘Diseased Remnants of a Dying World’, Skotos will be released on May 14th, 2021 via Transcending Obscurity Records.

The release is combined with the full length album in a brand new 12-panel digipak packaging for the CD while the vinyl will see a standalone 7″ edition, with the band’s own label FYC Records handling the combined tape edition.

Piling the misery on with these two tracks, Dødsferd have bleak and intense black metal to share. Around nine and a half minutes of blistering and raw noise as only the blackest and most sinister bands could conjure up.

Dødsferd are this band and prove themselves to not only be grounded in the traditional sound of black metal but also capable of dragging it forward. Even if it is kicking, screaming, snarling and spitting along the way.

Hammering with unbridled intensity on Skotadi, evil drips from the first track. Whereas Cursed to Die At First Light has a wandering edge of atmosphere to give it a deeper and darker sound. They’re both similar sounding tracks though, simply because of the brutality that emanates from within Dødsferd.

1. Skotadi
