Review
"Unchain My Soul" emerges from ambient hall murmurs into a barrage of biting tremolo picking and relentless double-kick patterns, Heljarmadr bellowing commands that pull the Stockholm crowd into an echoing chorus. Across its expansive run time, the track establishes the performance's defining dynamic: immaculate technical discipline paired with a surging, forward-driving rhythmic assault.
Captured during their 2022 hometown show at Fållan, the set balances modern material against foundational catalog entries like "The Secrets of the Black Arts" and "Vobiscum Satanas". Rather than relying on unhinged chaos, the mix emphasizes razor-sharp instrument separation. Lord Ahriman and Chaq Mol’s dual guitars cut cleanly above dense percussive thunder, granting deliberate mid-tempo pieces like "My Funeral" and "When I'm Gone" spacious menace before the blast beats seize control once more.
