Barathrum
Hailstorm
[Nazgul's Eyrie]
Very harsh is the first thing that comes to mind when listening to this
disc. The production brought the vocals (if you could call them that, more
like animalistic growls) up front with bass while the drums kept a steady
background rhythm. A doomy (take that as mid-paced and slowish) raw form of
black metal that concentrated on atmosphere. Even trancy at times. The
band's sound is similar to that of the more well known Necromantia but
overall the Finns are a much better band because their music doesn't have
the campy horror elements those Greek bastards have. Very dark, JET BLACK
as the band like to refer to their brand of black metal. Nothing commercial
about this at all.
