...Again Shall Be

The album takes of with a great intro with atmospheres and male choirs (they're not singing just going Aaaaahhh!!) and it ends with a bit psycho outro with crows thetas flying away accompanied with keyboards. In between there's perhaps a bit slower black metal with grim vocals and some good material. Sometimes it seems to be a bit folkmusic inspired. It's a good album but it needs that extra little push to be really great. They can be very big in the future with their good production and sound quality. You should watch out though, there's at least one more band called Hades out there.

Alone Walkyng MCD

New company and a new sound, or maybe not. It’s much the same sound but the production is poor in compression to their debut. However in this case that is not a bad thing, because they have got a more individual and rememberable sound and their musical style fits better with the worse production. If you imagine their style on ...Again Shall Be with the production of Burzum and you get this. The sound isn’t the best but the feeling is there instead. This MCD was recorded a year before ...Again Shall Be so it could be a old demo or promo that’s been released. It contains three songs, two from the album and one new. The new song is very good and I wonder why it wasn’t on the album. The only negative is the mixing which is bad because the keyboards are practically none existing, but otherwise it’s a great release of 20 min.
