Stockholm-based Vananidr, but a lot of water has passed under the bridge, and many updates need to be provided. Vananidr, who last year was a solo-project by Andreas Eriksson, is now a trio and has released two new albums. But let's proceed in order! Just seven months after the debut album, Vananidr released the sophomore album Road North which actually consists of old material composed before 2018; therefore, Anders was once again responsible for all the instruments. A couple of days ago, Vananidr released the third album Damnation, and this time Anders is supported by a guitarist and a drummer. Both albums provide hefty and relentless black metal, with a melodic element added by the constant presence of a lead guitar that plays the main hook over a massive rhythmic guitar. Here and there, you will hear Mayhem vibes, especially on the track “Damnation”. Well constructed songs with engaging riffs and a great deal of variety in arrangements and tempo-changes makes both the albums pretty damn addicting. Both  Road North and Damnation are over the top masterpieces, and I could already consider Damnation as one of the best albums in 2020.
 
Notes:
Road North was released on May 31, 2019 through Purity through Fire. Damnation was released as CD and vinyl through Purity through Fire on January 24, 2020; a cassette- version through Worship Tapes and an independent digital version were also released on the same day.
 
Current lineup:
Anders Eriksson: Vocals, Guitars, Bass
Ljusebring Terrorblaster               : Drums
Rickard Silversjö: Guitars
