SDLXXX Aufnorden (Can) - From The Sword, The Sun Rose… - Digipack
This release compiles the newest EP, "From the Sword, the Sun Rose" and includes as bonus the project's first demo, self-released privately on tape earlier this year, titled "Unter Dem Schnee...Hoffe".
The material from the the EP shares some similarities with some of Ifernach's works. Absolutely remarkable Epic Black Metal, with excellent keyboard work, filled with great lines, epic chants calling for war for the motherland, and many elements of Oi! music both on the riffage as in the simplistic but always efficient melodic hooks that even get to almost Pop-ish style on the third track, and even more so on the last track of the EP, "Ausrine", a surprisingly engaging cover of Phil Collin's "Another Day in Paradise". The tracks from the demo on the other hand are much more Oi! and Punk influenced, and primitive, stripped-down assaults of hatred.
