Melodic death metal force by all?. First of all, production wise it sounds absolutely well done. Every instrument sounds full and crisp, whilst maintaining an organic warmth to them and not bending to the temptation of modern overly polished production. The vocals feels intense and lively, and spirited; alternating between the more shrieky cries (those can be a bit exaggerated) and the lower husky tones, with even double vocals in places; and there's more dynamism to the vocals on here to go along with the detailed sound of the album. Every single song on this album is catchy (however flawed and even tainted for a few) and immediately recognizable within the first seconds and the lead guitars are often used as main musical phrases. The album does contain a substantial amount of genuinely pleasant and at times even majestic melody. As far as I can tell, this is efficient. Even if you're someone who typically writes off melodeath as cheesy, "Djavulstoner" might still be something you can love. If anything, it's more of an extreme heavy metal album, so give it a shot.
