Harpyr – Trist Review

By GardensTale

It took me a long time to get into black metal, possibly the longest out of all the major metal subgenres. This wasn’t because I kept trying and failing, but because my first forays into the frostbitten were all about that treble, ’bout that treble, no bass kind of production. The kind that sounds like a marble clattering around a vacuum cleaner down in your sketchy uncle’s basement, while your aunt is still upstairs and screeching in hysterics. And it’s all recorded into one of these. I didn’t know that this wasn’t ubiquitous in black metal, that it was widespread primarily in the 90’s, but plenty of bands have since embraced the trinity of evil, kvlt and hi-fidelity recording equipment. I just assumed that if this is what black metal sounded like, then black metal was not for me. Thankfully, I have since learned the error of my ways and was thus happy and even enthusiastic to review newcomers Harpyr.

Of course, just because a lot of black metal bands don’t sound like second wave ‘too cool for production value’ bands anymore, doesn’t mean none of them do. “Am Ende der Zeit” starts off innocuous enough with warm plucked strings, but as soon as the distorted tremolo and phlegmy scream burst forth like Jack from its box, we are shunted onto the tin-can ice of 1992 Norway. Harpyr attempt a kind of merger between the cold notes of Immortal with the emotional impact of post-black like Harakiri for the Sky, and the combo is not without its merits. “Vanitas” is an early success as the wailing rasp gets underpinned by shimmering tremolos that convey a loneliness and desperation that really works. “Was wird bleiben…?” is where this combination of classic and modern black metal peaks, a stream of consciousness that is dynamic and gripping with its forlorn melancholy.

But just as often, Trist gets mired in predictability, often when the post part of the equation takes a back seat. “Unendliches Nichts” builds riffs, leads and vocal cadence out of the same semi-triplet pattern, and it gets run into the ground by the time the track’s only halfway done. The frequent tempo shifts of “Armageddon” make it a more dynamic affair, but the black-thrash adjacent leads retain the stodgy adherence to four-part repetitions without the flair or variation that makes you forget the stodgy adherence to four-part repetitions. These are structural flaws even found in the better tracks, and it makes the compositions feel safe, even meek at times, when sheer energy or emotional pull can not make up for it.

Which brings me back to the recording quality. I know that productions like this tend to be an aesthetic choice in this day and age, where advances in technology have made half-decent productions cost-effective for artists of any size and financial means.1 It’s just not a choice I particularly agree with. You can truly do icy and cold-sounding production without resorting to this kind of shitty lo-fi sound, and the contrarian option affects everything Harpyr is attempting negatively. The drums are the worst; the snare sounds like somebody is hitting a bucket with a flat hand.2 It sucks the emotional depth that could be had from the noisy, fuzzy rhythm guitars and thin leads, and creates a distance and a barrier between me and the music.

Trist is a frustrating album. Everything is present to build an enticing bridge between second wave and post-black, but a small shortage of derring-do in the songwriting and the thin and treble-laden production hold it back from becoming more than the sum of its parts. It is impressive as a debut, and shows promise that Harpyr may yet push themselves to greater heights. But as it stands, I would only recommend Trist to the most staunch adherents of voicemail tape recording in the back lot of a Spar.

En av mine beste venner mener at ja, nå er det vår favoritt gitarvirtuos engel som akkompagnerer gode, gamle Ozzy når han synger.

#RIPOzzy #Ozzy #trist #sorg

Pinlig, men nå er jeg ekstremt emosjonell.

Vil gjerne tro at nå er de sammen igjen, men forstår at det er bare fantasi.

Mer enn markedsføring!
Sitat NRK i dag: «I 2022 anbefalte Personvernkommisjonen i en rapport en utredning av et generelt forbud mot atferdsbasert markedsføring. Stortinget har bedt om det samme. Men ennå har det ikke dukket opp noen utredning. Langt mindre et lovforslag.»
Som vanlig svares det «bla, bla, bla»
Snart er det for sent

Triste saker. Det finnes folk som ikke får nok mat - og det finnes folk som spiser så mye at det gjør dem syk. Jeg ikke klandrer dem, det er en alvorlig sykdom. Svært merkverdig: på den ene siden, har vi denne irriterende og kjedelige matprat og matsnobberi og fine dining og kjendiskokker og å nevne mat som éns interesse og tidsfordriv. På den andre siden, ser vi mennesker som bokstavelig talt lider av å spise.
Noen som har et normalt forhold til mat, kanskje? #norsktut #trist

@mattwynne @dddeu @diana For years I’ve considered attending the @dddeu conference/events at the recommendation of @rebeccawb . Your description makes me wish even harder that I could have been there. #JOMO #FOMO Maybe next year! Attendum: In the 1980’s & 90’s (before I met #agile), my consulting work was primarily #sts work design/redesign. #sociotechnical systems & #appreciativeinquiry have been at the heart of my work ever since. #Emery #Trist #Hanna #Passmore #Axelrods 💚💚💚
