UMUR
"Over Frozen Moors" is a single release by Norwegian doom/heavy metal act Coffin Storm. The single was released through Peaceville Records in February 2024. At the time of release it functioned as a teaser release to Coffin Storm´s fortcoming debut full-length studio album "Arcana Rising" which was released in March 2024. An animated music video was made for the song. The exact same version of the track appears as the opening track on "Arcana Rising". Coffin Storm formed in 2020 and features the trio of Bestial Tormenter (bass, guitars), Apollyon (drums), and Fenriz (vocals). All three prolific personalities on the Norwegian extreme metal scene having played with/or still play with artists like Dødheimsgaard, Darkthrone, Nekromantheon, Internö, Immortal...etc.

Stylistically "Over Frozen Moors" is a mid-paced and energetic heavy metal/doom metal track. Fenriz has an epic singing style but at the same time he also sounds a bit demented. It´s like listening to Carl-Michael Eide (Virus, Aura Noir, Ved Buens Ende, Infernö) meeting a less accomplished Messiah Marcolin (Candlemass, Memento Mori). Fenriz vocals are pretty surely an aquired taste, but to my ears they provide the music with some oddball personality and they work really well within the context of Coffin Storm´s music.

The single features a well sounding production job, with the right organic sound and powerful rawness. Upon conclusion it´s a good quality teaser single from Coffin Storm and this is definitely an interesting new project with some real muscle and musical skills behind it. A 3.5 star (70%) rating is deserved.
