Them, giants of the scene return with a brand new album, fit to the seam with heaviness.
“Diluvium,” is the haunting intro that really sets the scene up nicely for “Age of Ascension,” a song that blatantly flies off the speaker into a rage inducing mosh pit. A song that gets the blood moving and the heart pumping and snarling. “The Tumultuous Voyage To Hemmersmoor,” snarls and shakes. The guitar work on this song is simply phenomenal, it spins around and twists the world in twain. The vocals are simply perfection, they tell a tale and unleash the dreams of the old onto the new.
“Waken,” haunts the pages with some seriously subtle and bombastic riffs and melodies before turning over to “Memento Mori,” a haunting pause of a song. “Hellhounds: The Harbingers Of Death,” snaps and crackles, brimming with energy and darkness. It swirls around the pool of desperation and darkness to deliver something quite compelling and exciting. This is a song that will surely get people going when performed live.
Finishing up with “Battle Blood,” and “Maestro’s Last Stand,” was definitely the right way to go, the two songs sum up the differences within the album perfectly.
Be sure to get the record when it is released on 30th October via Steamhammer/SPV
