Nordic Folk Metal in Bloom: Bhleg’s ‘Fäghring’ Splatter Vinyl (NVP148LP)

Today’s entry takes us deep into the Swedish forests with an atmospheric masterpiece of pagan folk metal. We are examining the 2022 Limited Edition vinyl release of Fäghring by Bhleg, issued by the Nordvis label with the catalog number NVP148LP.

A Hymn to Summer and Growth

Released on July 1, 2022, Fäghring (an archaic Swedish word for “flowering” or “bloom”) marks the fourth full-length album from this mysterious Swedish duo. It serves as a conceptual ode to the season of life, growth, and the sun, contrasting with the darker themes of their previous work. Musically, it is a hypnotic blend of raw black metal vocals and entrancing Nordic folk. The album features traditional instrumentation, including the nyckelharpa and flute (played by guest J. Ask), as well as ritualistic Galdr chanting by Lars Magnar Enoksen, creating a soundscape that feels ancient and deeply rooted in nature.

Limited Green Splatter Vinyl

This pressing perfectly matches the album’s verdant themes. It is pressed on Green Vinyl with Grey Splatters, evoking the imagery of moss and stone found in the Swedish wilderness.

- Packaging: The record comes housed in a sleeve that complements the nature photography of the cover.
- Barcode: Note that the barcode is present as a sticker on the outer PVC sleeve, keeping the artwork on the jacket clean.

It is a mesmerizing listen for fans of atmospheric black metal and Nordic folk music.
