Sylvaine. Let me tell you about Sylvaine!
Finally a modern artist that makes me proud of being Norwegian 🇧🇻 (no I usually dont like Norwegian metal/black metal. I find it to be too stiff/flat and with a lack of rythm. Nearly all black metal bands I like happens to be Swedish.)
But SYLVAINE?? She creates all her music. All the instruments. All the angelic vocals..all the guitars..the ambvient sound. The drums. The guttural shrieks in agony. Its just HER
Keep that in mind while you listen to these. ONE woman created this;
How come I've JUST discovered this genius of a talent when she has been around for a while?? (Shame on Spotify for not showing me this earlier!! )
When she screams she is completely calm on stage. No "scary grimaces". Not even showing any strain/any struggle. She is simply in full control of her vocals. She plays all the instruments on her records. She can sing as beautiful as an angel or scream like a spiteful witch! And you just feel it. You feel all of it! Right in your heart! Or as we say in Norwegian ;
"Rett i hjarterota!/hjerterota" (Straight into the core/root of your heart!🫀)
And of course whenever she DOES sing in Norwegian its more like a Nynorsk/old mid/south Norwegian dialect (my own South-western dialect is similar to that but not quite as beautiful..)
I am finally in awe of a Norwegian artist that isn't 1800's composers! 💖
