After only a year and a half since their
birth, Heidevolk
have already caught a lot of attention in the northern portions of
Europe. Heidevolk, a new-founded Folk metal 6-piece band, base much
of their lyrical and musical concepts on nature and mythology. As
this being their debut album, it would seem they have matured by the
minute because of how delicate each note sounds. Sure the mastered
disc is a tad muddy, but the concepts and the artwork more than compensate
Heidevolks' efforts. This is totally extraordinary for those of you
who enjoy choral chants, sounds of sea & drunken bonfires and
not to mention, epic mystical landscapes! My favorite track is "Gelre
838, Wychaert", which feature a collage of elements I have since
mentioned. There are some black metal elements thrown in here and
there, but do not expect a lot of vocal shrieking. That is not what
these guys are all about. All in all, their 1st opus- "De Strijdlust
is Geboren" should not be forgotten nor overlooked! Bathory,
Moonsorrow and Thyrfing fans will absolutely LOVE Heidevolk! Rating: 84 Reviewed By: Thomas Mitchell |
