Istapp - Blekinge (2010)^{Release ID: 11334}

Sweden's Istapp have given us some of the worst black metal of 2010 with this second full-length release. The guitar sound is very thin & the melodies are almost cheesy for the most part. Don't even start to think about a dark atmosphere here as "Blekinge" sounds more like a walk in the park on a summers day than any nocturnal forest experience. Quite a few of the riffs sound like late 70s Judas Priest to me. The rest is pretty much generic black metal fodder. Ignore this one.
