​Norwegian Khold are an established band in the black metal scene with six albums out, the last of which was released in 2014, Til endes, after a six year silence.

The album has all the typical trademarks of Khold sound. The listener will notice some groove in the initial “Myr”, which is quite in line with the previous album Hundre år gammal, but there is also a clear punk approach, which is evident in the second track “Skogens øye”. The thrashy or sometimes even punky element in the sound are perhaps the innovation of this album compared to the past; for this reason I would say that black'n roll is the new direction of Khold. The structure and the style are still the same and clearly recognizable: that is a simple structure with plain riffs without complications or frills of any kind, but sometimes a bit repetitive. The album, however, is dull, to say the least, and it fails to capture the interest of the listener, whose attention is awakened with the notes of “Dommens armé”, which is nothing but the cover of “Troops of Doom” by Sepultura with the text translated into Norwegian. But Khold have succeeded in dulling even this song, which is adapted to the general trend of the album. In short, Til endes is an unattractive album, it is dull and lacks tension; the only point of interest it is that it is a Khold album, especially considering that it took them six years to bring it out. Of course the fans of Khold and those who like black'n roll with some thrashy or punky spice will love it.

Notes:
