The 3rd Attempt (Norway): “Egocidal Path”

​The 3rd Attempt, from Kristianstad, Norway, were formed in 2014 and after a year they gained international renown with their first album Born in Thorns released a year later. Their second album Egocidal Path combines black'n roll with classic Norwegian black metal atmospheres, but sometimes even with non-metal sonorities. The seventh track “Black Metal Alchemist” reminds me a bit of Carpathian Forest. The album has a very good riffing and is performed perfectly throughout, and I really love the performance of the Spanish singer Ødemark, but still I personally think that it lacks brightness and variety. Sometimes the sound is a bit too pop to my ears, but nonetheless I recommend listening to it.
