Eldprov's "Lavåret": Swedish Melodeath with a Blackened Edge

Sweden's Eldprov just dropped Lavåret, and it's a masterclass in how to blend death metal's fury with black metal's frost.

Recorded at Studio Valhalla and polished by David Mauritzon (of Darkane fame), this single is raw yet refined, like a Viking blade honed for battle. The riffs cut deep, the melodies linger, and the atmosphere? Pure Scandinavian desolation.

Born in 2019 from the minds of Jonas Backe and Andreas Zoergel, Eldprov cut their teeth with the single Until Nightfall (2020). After recruiting drummer Simon Henell, they unleashed Rift (2022), a Grind to Death Records release that turned heads. Now, with a revamped lineup (including Oskar Eriksson on guitar and Emil Rova on drums), they're gearing up for their second album.

Lavåret isn't just another melodeath track. It's dark, expansive, and unapologetically Swedish: think At the Gates' melodic precision meets Darkthrone's grim atmosphere. The band's evolution is clear: tighter, bolder, and more immersive.

If you're craving melodic death metal with a blackened soul, Eldprov delivers. Lavåret is a promise of what's to come; and if this is the appetizer, the main course might just be a feast.

Yes, they're Swedish. No, they don't sound like ABBA. Unless ABBA secretly wrote riffs this heavy. 

CONCLUSION:
Eldprov's Lavåret proves that Swedish melodeath still has plenty of life left in it. By blending the genre's signature melodic hooks with black metal's dark atmosphere, they've created a sound that's both familiar and fresh. With their second album on the horizon, Eldprov is poised to make a significant impact on the underground metal scene.
