Helsefyr - 2004 - Deadly Black I Am

This Swedish Black Metal horde returns with their second assault this year. Though their last demo was released just a few months ago, the material on it was recorded back in the summer of 2003, but here we have entirely new material.

Musically this reminds me a bit more of latter days Darkthrone than their previous effort, with vocals sounding like a mix of Nocturno Cultos and those in Von. The demo contains five tracks, including an intro, an outro and a cover of Bathory's "The Return of the Darkness and Evil".

The soundquality has been improved a bit since the last time, giving this demo a somewhat more unified feel. I would have liked there to be one or two more tracks of their own material, but this is still well worth checking out. Standout track is "A Frozen Soul"
