     You may not be familiar with Vægtløs, as I was before this album.

     Entitled Aftryk, it was composed by Frederik Højlund (guitar), Jeppe
     Nørgaard (bass), Tobias Aske Heltborg (drums) and Troels H. Sørensen
     (vocals), before being released in 2024.

     Ingenting Kan Forhindre At Små Struber Skælver En Forårsnat begins with a
     soft melancholic tone, complemented by a few spoken words. Desperate cries
     join the mix, which eventually flares up to become much more oppressive and
     dark, pouring out a near-continuous stream of virulent emotions that breaks
     off and gradually picks up again, accompanying us in its hellish rhythm.
     The final’s quietude finally returns to saturation on Først da vi bar din
     kiste, gik det op for mig, hvor meget tungt du skulle igennem, før du blev
     så let, a composition with such a burdening title that adopts Black Metal
     elements to give added weight to its rhythm. Post roots are unleashed
     before becoming much more soothing on the break, but they return to their
     usual throbbing fury as they become even heavier before giving way to Her I
     Vores Hjerter Bærer Vi En Ny Verden, whose sound is far from its name’s
     optimistic tone. The slow riffs’ suffocating tones progressively keep the
     gloomy veil before our eyes even during the more stripped-down passage at
     the middle of the composition, then they flare up again to carry us with a
     bang to Tag dit knuste hjerte og lav det til kunst and its serene
     introduction. The musicians take it in turns to join in the dance, letting
     the rhythm section offer a few airy touches before finally sinking into
     this visceral yet heady rage, from which screams emerge regularly until the
     chaotic final.

     With Aftryk, Vægtløs takes the shape of a river. Often extremely agitated,
     the album also has a few calmer passages, reinforcing both its incredible
     contrast and, above all, its raw strength. It has quickly become a
     must-have for me.
