Swedish black metal kings VALKYRYJA stream the entirety of their new album, The Antagonist’s Fire, at Zero Tolerancemagazine’s website. Released last week by new label home WORLD TERROR COMMITTEE, The Antagonist’s Fire follows VALKYRJA‘s critically acclaimed second album, Contamination, released in 2010 by Metal Blade. Furious yet poised, feral yet professional, here VALKYRJA go from strength to strength, employing a variety of tempos and textures – including a pronounced usage of classic heavy metal lead work – whilst staying deadly committed to timeless black metal orthodoxy. Each track explodes into burning black fire and reaches near-anthem status before song’s end, twisting the listener into a state of feverish possession.
