           When it comes to Scandinavian extreme metal, the general
           consensus is that Sweden has produced the best death
           metal, while Norway holds the advantage in the black
           metal sweepstakes (Denmark and Finland bring up the rear
           with a few excellent examples in both camps). Of course
           no one bothered to alert the guys in Naglfar to this
           stereotype, and the Swedes have thus gone about their
           business of recording a string of accomplished and "true"
           black metal releases, such as 2005's Pariah -- their
           fourth long-player. With the departure of founding
           vocalist Jens Rydén following 2003's Sheol, this album
           saw bassist Kristoffer Olivius stepping forward to take
           over the role of frontman, handling a loss that may have
           proved fatal to most other bands with what appears to be
           surprising ease. Indeed, so similar are both men's
           infernal shrieking that one can hardly tell the
           difference. Musically, one can't really tell much
           difference and what preceded it, either, as shockingly
           profane lyrics and especially blastbeat-driven
           hyper-speeds remain, far and away, the most prominent
           weapon in Naglfar's misanthropic arsenal. However, the
           band is astute enough to know when to alternate these
           with slower riffs and nefarious melodies, thereby lending
           standout cuts like "The Murder Manifesto," "None Shall Be
           Spared," and "Carnal Scorn & Spiritual Malice" with
           critical doses of variety. Additional points of interest
           include the sweetly tuneful guitar harmonies coming out
           of nowhere during "And the World Shall Be Your Grave,"
           the sudden quiet and tentative electronics used midway
           through "A Swarm of Plagues," and the also cautious use
           of background symphonic effects (something Naglfar,
           unlike so many black metal bands, has previously been
           loathe to mess with) on "The Perpetual Horrors." All
           told, these various devices in no way reinvent the wheel,
           nor do they result in any new classics of the genre, but
           Naglfar are nevertheless pros at executing them. They
           also know enough not to overstay their welcome, returning
           to their dark catacombs just in time to leave the
           listener wanting a little more. Heck -- not bad for a
           bunch of black metal-playing Swedes!
