Agalloch - Mantle, The

| Agalloch - The Mantle |

In 1999 debuted this guys from Portland with the sublime Pale Folklore, an atmospheric "post-black" album, which received very good reviews, but generally received little recognition in the real metal. In 2001 an EP of mostly previously unreleased material, and now three years later, we finally enjoyed their second CD. You will immediately notice that the music is colorless lot than before. Acoustic guitars dominate the album and give it an especially cold and chilly with nature. The black metal vocals emphasize this again, though it more clean singing than on previous albums. Beautiful melodies, compelling love the attention, which you slowly sink into the dark and gloomy landscape of music. The songs are quite long and epic character. The album starts with an intro of two and a half minutes that immediately turns into the second song "In the Shadow of Our Pale company", a song that clocks almost fifteen minutes. The music spans several layers, are structurally well structured and the whole is beautifully into each other, sending all your time to complete one to do with the music. Partly because singing and variety of normal and black metal vocals with Opeth comparisons will soon be drawn. But where there is more technical Opeth, Agalloch sounds much more organic and 'natural'. The subtle use of experimental instruments like bells and whistles gives the album an extra dimension and will therefore receive a timeless quality.
Excellent Great Album. Highly Recommended: I Rate this ALbum 5/5

Helrunar - Sol I: Der Dorn Im Nebel

This is the last German Helrunar work. A little after four years in the underground acclaim pagan/black metal album Baldr Ok Iss reverses the band with a very ambitious two part back to the front. The new album Sól consists primarily of two separate albums, but along a conceptual and musical whole.
The band itself remains somewhat vague about the underlying concept of the album, so the listener up with their own interpretation to the material to continue. The textual contents of Sol seems to revolve around a catastrophe of apocalyptic proportions, which the search of an individual after this devastating event central. Higly Recommended. I Rate this Album 4/5

Primordial - Redemption At The Puritan's Hand

Luckily I took the time to understand the album. With each spin is Redemption's Hand At The Puritan namely stronger. Of course, some songs are all very direct, like the phenomenal opener No Grave Deep Enough. The epic The Mouth Of The Judas and the driving Puritan's Hand convince immediately. Other songs, however, have longer needed, such as Lain With The Wolf, which initially was a bit untidy but gradually developed into an amazing and emotional song. The same goes for the subdued beginning Bloodied Yet Unbowed, which emerged as a fiery epic that frontman AA Nemtheanga me goose bumps every time concerned with his pure, emotional vocals. So I can only advise everyone to give this album time. Then it appears that Redemption At The Puritan's Hand while not as brilliant as To The Nameless Dead, but damn little for rivals. A challenging album, entirely in the tradition of Primordial, a relief compared to the large amount of standard soulless junk that is being released. Pure, sincere and honest craftsmanship of an exceptionally high level. Very Recommended. I Rate this Album 4.5/5

The band is what I am concerned, the most convincing in the songs where the best in the trombone sound is processed. Examples are the firm, also in terms of epic riffs reminiscent of Enslaved Thorns Of Deception or calm and subdued start The Venomous Grace, which develops into a grand epic sounding. The majestic sounding, more than seven minutes long Somewhere among the highlights on this album, thanks to the generous and tasty solo that the song ends. Opener Blood On The Milky Way begins with a powerful riff that would not fit on any of the newer Enslaved albums. It is an innovative and diverse number which the band numerous well-developed ideas you hear. The triumphant trombonegeschal that the numbers added, know Sear Bliss also create a rather unique sound: Majestic! The instrument appears perfectly adequate to the atmospheric, progressive black metal of force to Sear Bliss.
Highly Recommended. I Rate this Album 5/5

Old Man's Child - Slaves Of The World

Compared with the earlier work is that the symphonic influences now somewhat less thick on top of the music lie. The melodious character of the music is nowadays mainly by the brings about guitars, keyboards while only a supporting role. The quality of the music remains in order. Especially songs like Saviours Of Doom (aggressive, powerful, nice and cool groovy keyboard work) and the impending Ferden Mot Fien Dens Country (with a nice guitar solo) betray the years of experience that Galder now with Old Man's Child has built. They are all sturdy, well constructed songs while sitting nice catchy sound. Nevertheless Galder rigid adherence to the proven formula of melody-rich black metal. It appeared in 2009 Slaves Of The World album is already number seven in the series. Although the album in terms of originality prize is not exactly impressive, Galder is someone who clearly know cases when it comes to composing music. He proved that already with the previous albums from Old Man's Child Slaves Of The World and contains just a couple sitting together in strong numbers. Highly recommended Album. I Rate it 4.5/5

Moonsorrow - Varjoina Kuljemme Kuolleiden Maassa

Moonsorrow always have been one of the most interesting groups. The Finns grew by album and every album also shifted their boundary. Unlike hop clubs like Ensiferum and Korpiklaani Moonsorrow opted for the epic and atmospheric approach, often packaged in very colossus spun out of songs. This sixth album is full hard not to. Four huge chunks of epic viking metal, and three short interludes. We want nothing else, because this is the approach that best suits the Finns. Moonsorrow is alive again in engaging melodies, chilling screaming vocals and compelling epic riffs, induced by atmospheric keyboard sounds and folk instrumentation. The album was an impressive reverb and it does so by referring to Bathory, hypnotic riffs to very epic and majestic. A song like Huuto in principle provide all the elements of a good pagan metal song. Tragic melodies, occasional rapids, loud echoing background vocals and the fiery speech of Mitja Harvilahti and Ville Seponpoika Sorvali. The atmospheric music is in that sense a series of highs and make the solemn rhythms and carefully worked vocals (both clean and aggressive) to even poetic. Recommended. I Rate this Album 4.5/5

The debut "Liberation" (it came two EPs and a demo) was a nice start, but last year's "Beyond the Apocalypse" was a sharper caliber and with 'Hellfire' is the trip even more slaughter.
Vocalist Ravn same time sounds dirtier as more varied than ever, the two guitarists and bass playing techy sounding Tor Risdal Stavenes gives a sharp guitars unprecedented depth way. This fifty minutes long drawing sheet contains brief explosions "I Am Abomination"and "Sculptor of Flesh" also beautiful epic anthems like "Celestial Deconstruction" and the closing title track. Underneath you can discover beautiful melodies and compositions do not lose their second voltage, because the production is excellent. Highly Recommended. I rate this album 4.5/5

Septicflesh - Great Mass, The

| Masterpiece! |

There aren't many albums that gives you chills after the 1st time you listen to it, well this is one of them, it not only gives you that feeling but also absorbs you into a world full of sound layers being the death & aggressive elements the most important mixed with the awesome symphonic arrangements (a full orchestra this time).
If you expected a Communion part II you're mistaken, this is more similar to Summerian Demons with only a pinch of their last record. Septic Flesh has become a more proffesional band that takes everything pretty serious, there's nothing left behind (lyrics, artwork, etc). Everytime you listen to this album you'll find something new in it.
Some bands have been including symphonic sounds into their music for long time (Im talking to you Dummy Burger) but none of them has done the right way. Septic Flesh took things to a whole new level difficult to reach.
5/5, perfect album!!!
