5. Troløs (Hundre År Gammal, 2008)
“If Helmet played black metal, they would sound like this. 90s Am/Rep noise rock meets black metal is the best way to describe Khold. Its like peanut butter and chocolate was many years ago, oddly intriguing, but damn does it ever work out for the best!”
4. Mørke gravers kammer (Mørke gravers kammer, 2004)
“This sounds similar to Khold’s first two cds, which comes as no surprise. It has that slow groove to it, in fact there is no true “fast” song on the entire CD. But, it has a refreshing quality to it, the songs seem to breathe very nicely. It shows a bit more maturity for the band, better production yet it still retains that cold, hateful sound. The bass is very prominent, so do not expect a trebly tinny sound.”
3. Skogens Oye (Til Endes, 2014)
“The overall approach, especially in the early parts of this album, made me nod my head in satisfaction while thinking about Tom Fischer. There’s a distinct early Celtic Frost vibe about this album in general, in how atmospheric details and odd sounds are given room, in how the songs just about always appears to include some form of minimalistic melody, in the manner in which alterations in pace and intensity are applied, as well as the overall dark, somewhat oppressive sound.”
2. Kor (Hundre År Gammal, 2008)
“Hundre ar gammal is out and not only dose it share the feel of the first release, it has a couple surprises as well. It is still thick and groovy, but the production is a lot clearer. And the tempo is up just the slightest. And Gard’s vocals are even sicker than be for. I am glad to say that I don’t hear the Darkthrone influence on this release either that so many people compared Khold to in the earlier releases.”
1. Bønn (Hundre År Gammal, 2008)
“The songwriting is solid. The band plays a very simple and groovy style of black metal or black ‘n’ roll. Their songs usually lumber on at a moderate pace, driven by tough riffing and a powerful rhythm section. Every now and then the music also explodes into blast beats, but even at its most furious it sounds deadpan and grim, as if no real excitement or any other positive emotion could possibly exist in the band’s world.”
