Endlich! Große Freude überkam mich, als von their Morbid Winter Records darüber in Kenntnis set, it was that the Slovaks of Karpathia in April 2009 their first album was released in full length!
Instantly I was a promo editions and asked me for support.
I fascinated about the demo of this ground-Horde, I took the job with pleasure.
should indeed take a while before I could turn to the silver disc, but the wait is over and now follows the description of "original home - VOLANI Havranov.
means the title of the CD "original home - the cries of the ravens." The walnut wood brown album cover is my opinion one of the best that I have come across lately. It shows an old rocks in the Carpathian Mountains on whose summit a medieval castle stands. At the foot of the mountain, driving a cart into a lake and in the evening sky turn ravens their rounds over the country. Top left is the logo, it also provides the image with a wave-like frame decorated elaborately.
As always sing the Slavic comrades in their texts, the pan-Aryan traditions and cultural values of their people.
Here follows the insight into the musical world of dark Carpathian sons
The first track "Prastara Krv"'s doing it already. A fast-paced Gitarrengetöne, accompanied by rattling drums, loses itself gradually in a melodic sound world accompanied by epic keyboard sounds are heard in the background quietly and build up a huge atmosphere.
poses After the rather chaotic, fast-paced as the tones of the second song in itself, it goes on with a familiar song that was included on the demo of Karpathia: Stronghold of Wotan's Wolves. On that brilliant title is nothing to criticize, even on the demo I liked the piece the best!
The fourth track "S Poslednym Lucom Slnka" also features quiet passages, accompanied by keyboard and clean singing, but hold the rapidly changing Giatrren riffs sound a certain chaos with him, which rather disappointed me.
As in Unlike the demo on the whole not a lot of variety found on this CD, it's worth it now to mention two other tracks:
The fifth track "V Plameni Zatmenej Pravdy" a great ambient work with magical sound art and the last track, " Stronghold of Night Wolves ", which can also be seen as an outro and listen to what even particularly quiet clean guitar and keyboard sounds are gentle.
The keyboard and cawing, and clean vocals are flawless, especially the key board down again on a mystical atmosphere, which fits nicely with the concept of the album.
As for the guitar work, since the demo in my opinion Unfortunately after a couple of deterioration occurred because of the great, atmospheric riffs of "Briezdenie nad Striebornou Zemou was largely unfortunately a chaotic mess.
That may sound harsh, but some listeners might just like all the more better, it's just a matter of taste!
Finally, I can only say that despite some small disappointments is a commendable work in but in my opinion, not with the much more fluid demo atmosphere comparable.
