UMUR
"NonAnthropogenic" is the debut full-length studio album by Norwegian black metal act V:28. The album was released through Vendlus Records in October 2003. The band are a duo on this album consisting of Kristoffer Oustad (Guitars, Programming) and Eddie Risdal (Guitars (rhythm), Vocals, Bass).

The band play a mid-paced/slow and atmospheric type black metal. The drums are programmed but it´s not too obvious and not really an issue either (overall the sound production is professional and well sounding). The riffing style sometimes remind me of Bolt Thrower. A reference that is further strengthened by the band´s war themed lyrics and imagery. A theme they would explore even further on subsequent releases. However on "NonAnthropogenic" the war theme is only one of the lyrical themes the band explore. While the tracks are slightly one-dimensional and the song structures a bit formulaic, the band still succeed in incorporating enough variation in the music to keep the album entertaining throughout. I Especially enjoy the majestic moments with keyboards that occur now and again. The vocals are black metal type snarling vocals. A bit one-dimensional but they suit the music well. In regards to that it should be noted that Grutle Kjellson (Enslaved) delivers lead vocals on "Purity" and backing vocals on "Dead Shining Star".

While "NonAnthropogenic" isn´t a flawless release to my ears, it´s still a strong album by V:28, that showcases an act featuring a distinct sound with potential. A 3.5 star (70%) rating is deserved.
