Another novelty this year in terms of national extreme metal is the return of Vrademargk. This band from Terrassa releases its third album in 2021, eight years after its previous "The Black Chamber", and with an increasingly changing musical world, even more so than when that work was released.
"Arrelats" is the new work of these musicians in love with the melodic death of Göteborg and everything that has to do with said style. The first surprise that we find as soon as we start the album is the change to the Catalan language, with which they seem more comfortable than with the English of their previous compositions.
Already into the album, the homonymous "Arrelats" clearly stands out, with an overwhelming beginning that reminds us a lot of bands like At The Gates. Other more changing songs such as "Estigmes Sobre Cendres" or "L'alè Dels Indòmits" show that the group has quite a bit of versatility when it comes to composing. Not in vain, they achieve a sound that, as we say, is very reminiscent of the Swedish melodies of the aforementioned Björler brothers or Dark Tranquillity, but at the same time each track maintains a hallmark, based on the good drum work or on the eminently serious sounds, which give the final result its own meaning.
Finally, it is worth highlighting "Egocidi", a very thrash song where the excellent drum work of the entire album shines above all, as well as the dark riffs of the anguished and intense "Eudaimonia" that remind us so much of Stained Blood. And this "Arrelats" confirms that Vrademargk are carving out a place for themselves among the best of Catalan extreme metal.
