Angry Metal Guy<p><a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/kazea-i-ancestral-review/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Kazea – I. Ancestral Review</a></p><p><i>By Iceberg</i></p><p><strong>Kazea</strong> hail from Sweden, home of the Björiff and the chainsaw song of the HM2. But on their debut album, <em>I. Ancestral</em>, the Gothenburg trio promise to blend “the power of post-rock, the haunting melodies of neo-folk, and the crushing weight of sludge.” If the mere mention of sludge hasn’t sent you screaming from the room, good, because you’re in for a treat today. I dealt with posty sludge from labelmates <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/besra-transitions-review/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Besra</strong></a> in my n00b days, but throwing neo-folk into the mix puts an unusual spin on the situation. While both styles revel in their simplicity of content, the open soundscapes of folk could provide much-needed contrast against sludge’s distorted chugging. Or it could devolve into a mishmash of styles that don’t share any common language. Whatever the musical case, there’s no denying the gorgeous poetry of Frederico Garcia Lorca in opener “With A Knife:” “<em>Green, how I want you green. Green wind. Green branches. The ship out on the sea. The horse on the mountain</em>.” Color me intrigued.</p><p><strong>Kazea</strong> choose to separate and highlight, rather than amalgamate, their stylistic influences, a gamble that pays off more often than not. Dusky acoustic guitars reminiscent of <strong>Gustavo Santaolalla</strong> or <em>A Romance With Violence</em>-era <strong>Wayfarer</strong> lead the folk-inspired sections, evoking untamed, pagan wilderness (“With A Knife,” “A Strange Burial”). The sludge, which forms the backbone of <strong>Kazea</strong>’s sound, is more <strong>Melvins</strong> than <strong>Mastodon</strong>, and a lot of <em>American Scrap</em>-era <strong>Huntsmen</strong>, with fuzzy guitars and stomping drum patterns (“Whispering Hand,” “Wailing Blood”). Jonas Mattsson’s vocals may be a bit controversial here, with their Billy Corgan-esque nasal quality, but the more I listened to <em>I. Ancestral</em> the more Mattsson’s performance stuck with me. I hear shades of Layne Staley in his scrawling delivery, and while I wasn’t always able to discern the lyrics, his dynamic croon forms the beating heart of the album’s post-metal tunes (“Trenches,” “Seamlessly Woven”).</p><p></p><p>For a band handing in their debut record, <strong>Kazea</strong> slither and wind their way around 37 minutes with the hallmarks of seasoned songwriters. An air of storytelling pervades the album, with memorable spoken word fragments (“A Little Knife,” “A Strange Burial”) and ambient soundscapes (“The North Passage,” “Seamlessly Woven”) delivering post-metal’s cinematics within a sludge framework. Post-metal swells and crashes à la <strong>This Will Destroy You</strong> and <strong>Isis</strong> are found on “Trenches” and “Seamlessly Woven,” and while these are unsurprisingly the longest tracks on the record they handle their duration well, with the latter providing one of the strongest, heart-wrenching choruses I’ve heard all year long. Even “Whispering Hand,” which is something akin to pop sludge, is a radio-ready anthem full of earworms that evokes the better moments of <strong>Them Crooked Vultures</strong>.</p><p><em></em></p><p><em>I. Ancestral</em> is a promising opening for <strong>Kazea</strong>’s proposed musical series, and its flaws are few and far between. Daniel Olsson’s drums are powerful, and the groove laid down in “The North Passage” marches in mammoth lockstep with Rasmus Lindbolm’s bass, but the minimalist tribal kick/toms/snare pattern begins to feel a bit overused the longer one listens to the record. “Pale City Skin” and “Wailing Blood” both start strongly but spin their riff wheels a touch too long, giving in to the tendency of both sludge and post-metal to utilize repetition for content. And while a master by <strong>Cult of Luna</strong>’s Magnus Lindberg is roomy and darkly colorful, the vocal mix does get buried in the busier sections of the album, which is a shame because these constitute some of the best music <em>I. Ancestral</em> has to offer (“Trenches,” “Seamlessly Woven”). But the overall impression of <strong>Kazea</strong>’s debut beats its blemishes, presenting a stark and unique voice formed from disparate influences.</p><p>“<em>…with a knife. With a little knife that just fits into the palm</em>.” The chilling denouement of “With A Knife” has stuck with me as I’ve ruminated over <em>I. Ancestral</em>. It neatly encapsulates the album, weaving shadowy, wooded energy into an unlikely combination of post-metal and sludge. The album is smartly edited and easy to pore over multiple times, with repeat listens revealing some standout moments: “Whispering Hand” is a shamelessly fun sludge anthem, and “Seamlessly Woven” is the most emotionally packed closer I’ve heard since <strong>The Drowning’</strong>s “Blood Marks My Grave.” I think <strong>Kazea</strong> have knocked it out of the park with this debut, and are on the verge of coalescing their sound into something truly remarkable. Don’t sleep on these guys.</p> <p><strong>Rating:</strong> 3.5/5.0<br><strong>DR:</strong> 6 | <strong>Format Reviewed:</strong> 320 kb/s mp3<br><strong>Label:</strong> <a href="http://www.suiciderecords.se/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Suicide Records</a><br><strong>Website:</strong> <a href="http://kazea.bandcamp.com/album/i-ancestral" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bandcamp</a><br><strong>Releases Worldwide:</strong> March 21st, 2025</p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/2025/" target="_blank">#2025</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/35/" target="_blank">#35</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/gustavo-santaolalla/" target="_blank">#GustavoSantaolalla</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/hunstmen/" target="_blank">#Hunstmen</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/i-ancestral/" target="_blank">#IAncestral</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/isis/" target="_blank">#Isis</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/kazea/" target="_blank">#Kazea</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/mar25/" target="_blank">#Mar25</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/melvins/" target="_blank">#Melvins</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/neo-folk/" target="_blank">#NeoFolk</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/post-metal/" target="_blank">#PostMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/review/" target="_blank">#Review</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/reviews/" target="_blank">#Reviews</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/sludge/" target="_blank">#Sludge</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/suicide-records/" target="_blank">#SuicideRecords</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/swedish-metal/" target="_blank">#SwedishMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/them-crooked-vultures/" target="_blank">#ThemCrookedVultures</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/this-will-destroy-you/" target="_blank">#ThisWillDestroyYou</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/wayfarer/" target="_blank">#Wayfarer</a></p>
