Trinacria is an experimental black metal side project composed of Enslaved's creative core, Grutle Kjellson and Ivar Bjørnson, collaborating with Maja Ratkje and Hild Sofie Tafjold, members of the noise band Fe-mail.The album features a sound that Blut Aus Nord fans will surely find familiar: experimental black metal that relies heavily on programmed percussion and alternates between speed and spacey mid tempos, with simple riffs and noisy squeals both sharing the spotlight and a smattering of slight nods to post metal here and there.The album is divided into six parts, with "Part III: Make No Mistake" being the best track for showing the project's overall strengths, since it features the strongest black metal elements with Grutle's vocals reigning above dissonant riffing and noisy synth samples, while "Part VI: Travel Now Journey Infinitely" is the one that sounds closest to Enslaved's work.The end results makes for an interesting listen for Enslaved fans, although in overall quality, nothing here really compares to that band's progressive genius, since it simply doesn't feel as developed as the band's core work, a problem that plagues most side projects, regardless of genre.Ultimately, this experimental black metal/noise hybrid may not be as interesting or impressive as Blut Aus Nord's work, but it can be an appealing option to Enslaved fans or those interested on exploring black metal's more experimental side.
