Noroth - cavernous death in Washington state, U.S.

Noroth is traditional death in Washington state, U.S. with the following recordings so far on Bandcamp: It Dwells Amongst Us (2020; eight songs, 23 minutes) and Harbinger (2021; nine tracks, 27 minutes). It’s low, gruff growling with simplistic heavy riffing for those galloping rhythms. The slower parts do not generally slow down to a crawling pace, and stay in midtempo, grooving stomps, while the fast parts can go fast, but not into blasting paces. The effectiveness of the music is direct: one listen pretty much gives the audiences a rather good picture of the proceedings. If you enjoy deep growling and cavernous riffs, and midtempo/uptempo heaviness, then Noroth might be a fun listen or a fun show. Both recordings are the same style and sound, suggesting that the band knew exactly what they wanted from the beginning. Metal Archives does not show that the three members Itzhak (drums), Mike (guitar) and Biaggo (vocals, bass) are involved in any other projects, but I am unable to confirm whether that information is fully accurate. Whatever the case may be, fans of the more primal and simplistic forms of death are the desired demographic for this good stuff.
