Gorr - Tolv I Talet - Reviewed By OccultBlackMetalZine ! Check it out here at this link: https://occultblackmetalzine.blogspot.com/2021/02/gorrkvit-som-snoen-kald-i-blikket2021.html

Gorr are a duo from Norway that plays a Norwegian style of black metal and this is a review of their self released 2021 album "Kvlt Snoen, Kald I Blikket" which will be released in March.

Clean playing starts off the album along with some grim yet high pitched black metal screams a few seconds later. On the second track the music also goes into a heavier direction while the tremolo picking also gives the music more of a raw feeling when it is utilized and clean playing also returns on later tracks.

The songs also add in a decent mixture of both old school and modern influences while all of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them. On one of the tracks the riffing also shows an influence of death metal as well of the album sticks to either a slow or mid tempo direction and when the music finally speeds up a small amount of blast beats can also be heard.

Gorr plays a style of Norwegian black metal that sticks mostyl to a slow or mid tempo direction as well as maintaining a very raw approach to the genre. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in Norwegian and cover Legends and Nature themes.

In my opinion Gorr are a very decent sounding Norwegian black metal duo and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Bitande Kalt" and "Ditt Uendelege Raseri". 7 out of 10. - OccultBlackMetalZine

Black metal from the north west coast of Norway! Gorr was founded in the late dark months of 2019 by Skuggimaðr after he heard the old story about the local king named Gorr. The story about him and the locations for it suited perfectly as inspiration for a black metal project that was still a “wanted child” but not yet born. The location is where Skuggimaðr lives and is an island on the north west coast of Norway called Gossen, and this heavily inspires both the music and the lyrics. After the first EP Hateful Wind joined Gorr and Gorr has since then been a two headed act. After two black metal albums, Gorr wanted to play around a bit more with styles and incorporate elements from death metal and doom into the music. This time they even got some help from lyrics writer Synnøve Holdhus, who also is Skuggimaðrs wife. This ended up in a small album with themes and feelings ranging from old Norse mythology into local stories with big losses and struggles from Gossen and the harsh nature surrounding it.
