Loading ...As promised this is the first on-the-fly review in history. TOROGDIL sent me a track entitled “Furchtgewandt” which is home recorded and produced. It is from their upcoming album.
After an epic and heavy guitar intro with a very heavy guitar sound the song starts raging. As expected from the guitar sound it can be described as harsh black metal with a lot of death metal influences. Unfortunately the drums are from a drum machine – I would have loved to hear this song with a real drummer. The vocals are a mixture of whispering and traditional black metal vocals presenting us German vocals. If I was to tell you a similar band I would say DORNENREICH and CREATURE. It is a lot faster and darker than you might expect from DORNENREICH and in a way more epic than you might expect from CREATURE.
The song is quite varied although the same theme is reapeated very often in some parts over a playtime of almost 6:30 minutes. My conclusion is that you can hear very nice songwriting ideas in this demo song and the band is definitively trying to be different from other bands. But as you can expect from a young band this song is not as mature as it should be for a real album release – in my opinion and with my high expectations for new music. BUT I definitively would like to hear this band live and “feel” their sound not as sterile as on this recording – not to mention of a real drummer…
P.S.: You can rate now yourself using the rating feature on the top of the post…
