Review by Sonny for Skogen - Skuggorna kallar (2018)

Skogen are yet another band of a growing number, who are breaking out of the artificial genre confines imposed on them by metal's conventions. Their nature-themed, atmospheric black metal sound has been expanded with elements of folk, progressive and doom metal. This can only be a good thing for extreme metal as we are spared endless regurgitation of the same basic concepts and can once more look forward to new releases with a genuine excitement and anticipation.
