More about 'Vertigo'

Norwegian black metal veterans Koldbrann deliver a haunting and atmospheric journey with "Vertigo", an album that showcases the band's evolution into darker, more experimental territories. The record opens with the mesmerizing "Introvertigo" and immediately establishes a sense of disorientation that perfectly matches the album's title. Tracks like "Totalt Sjelelig Bankerott" and "Drammen" demonstrate the band's ability to weave traditional Norwegian black metal aggression with moments of introspective melancholy, while shorter interludes such as "Hjertets Holodomor" and "Terminal Transnistrii" serve as eerie breathing spaces between the more intense compositions.

The album's second half ventures into even more adventurous territory with standout tracks like "Phantom Kosmonaut" and the sprawling "Goat Lodge", where Koldbrann explores cosmic themes and industrial influences without losing their black metal core. The closing epic "Intertia Corridors" brings the album full circle, creating a sense of completion to this vertigo-inducing experience. Throughout the record, the production maintains a perfect balance between clarity and rawness, allowing every atmospheric detail to shine while preserving the genre's essential bite.
