The Greek Black Metal scene has always had a healthy underground. Very few bands became really popular, but a ton of them were great and well-respected to those willing to dig into the scene a bit. Even though this is their eleventh full length album, it is the first time I have heard of (or heard!) music from Dodsferd. Come with me as I go through “Wrath” bit by bit and see what we have.

In this humble reviewer's opinion, “D...

According to The Metal Archives, Dødsferd has been in existence since 2001. I’m well versed in black metal, but I’m embarrassed to admit that even being a half Greek, currently living in Athens, Greece, I have never heard of this band until their most recent release “Wrath,” was sent my way.  Without doing any prior research on Dødsferd, I dove right in and immediately thought they have a classic, Scandinavian black me...

Είχα πολύ καιρό να ακούσω black metal που να με κερδίσει από την πρώτη στιγμή. Είναι ωραία τα ατμοσφαιρικά intros, αλλά για να πω τη μαύρη (you see what I did there?) αλήθεια, με έχουν κουράσει. Θέλω να γίνουν πιο to the point. Και αν κάποιο κομμάτι τραβήξει σε διάρκεια, να ...

In the almost quarter of a century of existence the Greek Black Metal band Dødsferd has spawned nothing short of an impressive back catalogue, with this newest effort ‘Wrath’, being the twelfth full-length instalment. Like with everything that lasts a long time, Dødsferd too has went through the process of natural progression and musical development. The result of almost 25 years of tweaking, refining and readjusting is come to...

DØDSFERD is synonymous with Wrath, the founder, vocalist, and guitarist for said band. On May 10, 2024, the band released their twelfth studio full-length album, “Wrath,” onHypnotic Dirge Records in collaboration with Fuck Your Creation Records. While the verdict is still out as to whether this technically qualifies as an eponymous album (an album named after the band that issued it), there is no question as to the reputation that D...

I Dødsferd fanno parte di quella schiera, in verità assai nutrita, di gruppi greci che suonano come se fossero scandinavi, tra cui possiamo annoverare gente come Lunar Spells, emersi abbastanza di recente, o i più stagionati Sad. Pure la band di Wrath, che resta la mente dietro alla creatura Dødsferd, anche se coadiuvato dal fido Neptunus al basso ormai da molti anni, non è certo di primo pelo, anzi è sulla piazza praticame...

Since 2001, Wrath, the man behind the Greek Dødsferd, has been spitting and vomiting on everything and everyone. There are few who escape his curse and wrath. We certainly don’t. The Portuguese Hypnotic Dirge Records releases album number twelve of this motley crew in various attractive formats. The title, ah yes, no need to complicate things, it’s simply Wrath.

Dødsferd is an act that is immediately recognizable in the underground. Their output is staggering with eleven full-length releases and countless splits, collaborations, and EPS since the Greek’s inception in 2006. The duo of Wrath and Neptunus return with their twelfth full-length offering to the black metal hordes. Wrath is an album that celebrates everything darkness eschewing the experimental notions, and depressive leanings of recent...

Il y a trois ans, en 2021 donc, est sorti l’un des meilleurs albums de ces 10 dernières années selon... moi-même : Suicide and the Rest of Your Kind Will Follow Part II de DODSFERD. Il s’agissait du deuxième essai du Grec dans un style plus dépressif, avec deux longs titres extrêmement riches, extrêmement jouissifs. Mais comme le premier volume, paru en 2009, il ne s’agissait que d’une parenthèse, et le nouvel album, Wrath d...

The most unusual thing about depressive black metal force, Dødsfesrd is how you would most certainly presume they were Scandinavian owing to the band name. However, the mysteriousness of the name does not rob the band from perfecting all elements of depressive black metal and throwing in some of the “warmer” Mediterranean elements of their homeland’s scene – the greatest of all in my honest opinion.

And these Greeks have not mellowed...

I didn’t really get into black metal until I started writing for AMG. This was primarily caused by a misconception of what these genres entailed, a sort of genre discrimination based in ignorance (isn’t that always the root cause?). In the case of black metal, I thought the definition of the style equated to lo-fi second wave black metal, or the sonic equivalent of hoovering up a marble with a cyclone vacuum. I still avoid that part...

High-energy meloblack from Hypnotic Dirge records. Listening to Wrath, you can tell that Dødsferd have been around for a while. The songwriting blends great melodies in the guitars with emphatic vocal grunts and grumbles to maintain a high level of interest over these six long tracks. The promotional material calls this “raw black metal,” which might be a sticking point for some as Dødsferd sounds cleaner than I’d expect from a raw...

For over two decades, Greek black metal band Dødsferd have meticulously crafted a potent blend of cold, misanthropic, dark, and hateful music, all the while infusing it with a haunting melodic undertone. Their twelfth studio album Wrath is a testament to this, a sonic journey that plunges listeners into the depths of decadent human life.

Wrath, as its name suggests, is a testament to rebellion and defiance. It echoes the call for lost and...

If there is one guarantee about Dødsferd it is the fact that whatever they release, it will be hellishly dark and horribly twisted. A fact that is once again confirmed by the blackened intensity of Wrath. An apt title as it finds Dødsferd as furiously fast and as heavy as they were on their earliest releases.

Beginning with the hysteria of Restoration of Justice. The egregious scream of suffering that greets will tell you all you need to know abo...

When I first heard music by Dødsferd, I was instantly gripped. The way that the music and lyrics related and sounded so good was something I hadn’t experienced before and rarely since.

Dødsferd released Diseased Remnants of a Dying World in 2018 and I had the honour of reviewing that. This was when I was first exposed to such brilliance and since then I have been lucky enough to cover the subsequent releases. However, when you ar...

Review from Invisible Oranges

Dødsferd are extremely pissed off on their 12th studio album. Not that that’s new, but consistency is always appreciated. Wrath is misanthropic, single-minded black metal that’s hard to make intriguing after a few go-arounds, yet Dødsferd’s main member Wrath still hates people just as much now as he did in 2001. Resultingly, Wrath is that rare breed of myopic yet captivating black metal.

Named after Dødsferd's founder, the 12th record from Greek black metal institution sees them heading back to their roots with abrasive, glacial, furious black metal. Never attempting to be pigeonholed, the band have released atmospheric albums, acoustic albums but with raw, visceral black metal that Wrath has made their mark on the revered Hellenic metal scene.

Wrath then paves the way for the next part of their existence, inspired by...

Dødsferd are an Underground force, a super active band who without getting the publicity they deserve (probably they don’t even care about it) generously offer top quality music and countless releases. Active since 2003, they have managed in 21 years to release 12 full length albums (!!!) with the last one entitled “Wrath”.

What makes ‘Wrath’ better than the band’s previous efforts? Actually nothing, because quite simply the ba...

We’ll begin with the first two songs you can now hear from Wrath, the forthcoming 12th album by Dødsferd. The album’s title shares the name of the band’s founder and also describes the emotional energy that fuels much of the music.

“Restoration of Justice” opens the album in a blaze — layered guitars deliriously whirling, the bass thundering, the vocals scalding, and the drums delivering a furious barrage. It’s like being ...

Named after the band’s founder, thematically, Wrath “carries in its wake a vigorous indictment of the social and economic consequences of capitalism, political corruption, ecocide, and the largest argument against our civility, warfare.” 

It’s also a crushingly good chunk of Black Metal.
