Swedish atmospheric post-black-ambient metal trio Ofdrykkja will release on the 25th of November via AOP Records their fourth album entitled After The Storm. To coincide with the announcement, the first single "The Mære" is revealed. It is no secret that the music of Ofdrykkja has never sounded quite the same. As the Swedish trio strive to keep evolving on a personal level, this is naturally reflected in their music, as well.
Their previous album, Gryningsvisor (2019), was more of a traditional atmospheric/ambient black metal album, the aptly titled After The Storm ventures away, off the beaten path, and proceeds to distance itself from some of the more traditional elements that are usually prominent in metal music.
At once recognizably Ofdrykkja and something quite different altogether, the ever-solemn After The Storm plaintively emphasizes the band's traditional Swedish folk side, along the way incorporating elements of post-rock, neofolk, and even dark pop. Mesmerizing and magical is this blend, but the band's roots are never far away; in fact, Ofdrykkja argue the spirit of metal is still prominent across After The Storm. Listen to the first single "The Mære" right below. Link
