Have you ever found yourself expecting a certain sound from an album, only to get something completely different—yet undeniably much better? This is what happened to me when I first heard Shagor’s Lyksalver. From my first glance at the album cover, I anticipated a claustrophobic, dense, avant-garde album. What I actually discovered, however, was a hidden gem of melodic Black Metal. With its epic yet melancholic atmosphere that will undoubtedly stir emotions—longing being the most prevalent—Lyksalver is a fun listen, packed with plenty of cool musical moments to savor.
