BASTARDUR · Satan's Loss of Son | CD

CD in jewelcase with 8 pages booklet

Background information about 'Satan's Loss of Son'

When Aðalbjörn Tryggvason, the creative force behind the atmospheric black metal legends Sólstafir, decided to channel his raw aggression into something completely different, Bastardur was born. This crust punk/death metal hybrid project serves as a ferocious tribute to the underground legends who shaped extreme music - Entombed, Napalm Death, Terrorizer, Desfear, and Motörhead. "Satan's Loss of Son" delivers eight tracks of unrelenting brutality that showcase Tryggvason's versatility as a songwriter, proving he can craft crushing riffs and devastating rhythms just as effectively as he can weave melancholic melodies.

The album opens with the crushing "Viral Tumor" and maintains its relentless pace through standout tracks like "Neonlight Blitzkrieg" and the title track "Satan's Loss of Son". Each song feels like a direct assault on the senses, with Tryggvason's vocals alternating between death metal growls and punk snarls. The production captures that classic Swedish death metal sound while maintaining the raw energy of classic crust punk. Tracks like "The Whispering Beast" and "Black Flag Fools" showcase the project's ability to blend crushing heaviness with memorable hooks, while "Afturhalds Kommatittir" adds an Icelandic touch to the proceedings.

For fans of:
Entombed, Napalm Death, Terrorizer, Desfear, Motörhead and Sólstafir
