Evilon – ‘A Warrior’s Way’ (2023)

Posted on 28 September 2023 by Michel28 September 2023

Rating: 9/10 Release: 8 September 2023 Label: Independent Evilon (a portmanteau of “evil” and “Avalon”) is a Swedish band calling themselves folk metal. Typically, I’ll open these reviews like “BandName is an n-member band of SomeGenre”, but it seems the band is restructuring and some folks have departed. At the … Continue reading →

Rating: 9/10 Release: 20 October 2023 Label: Mighty Music Sylvatica is a four-member Danish melodic death metal band, and Cadaver Synod is their third full-length album.

In this album the sextet was inspired by old Icelanders, such as the poem “Grímnismál“, adapting them in a way never heard before. In “Ýdalir“, moreover, they manage to sound … Continue reading →

Nemoreus – ‘Orcunadoras – Chapter two: Wanderer’ (2023)

Posted on 11 August 2023 by Michel16 August 2023

Rating: 8.5/10 Release: 4 August 2023 Label: Running Wild Productions Nemoreus is a six-member Austrian folk-metal band who probably don’t even need this amount of introduction.
