Black Messiah - Oath of a Warrior
2005/05/15 filed under /metal
Black Messiah is new to me. I missed their debut full length, as well as the demos, but now I caught them with Oath of a Warrior. An epic album full of Viking related material, sang in both English and German. I must say I like the German language with certain kinds of metal, it even sounds good here, but hey, German Vikings?
Anyways, the recording is ok. The bass drum sounds like that on Ablaze my Sorrow - The Plague. Quite like a plastic bucket that gets a good beating. But the funniest part of all must be the Greek/Venetian sounds in the third track, Blutsbruder. I can live with German speaking Vikings, but Greece and Venice aren't the first places that come to mind when I think about Odhinn loving creatures. Nevertheless, I like this album! Have to start looking for the albums I've missed.
Label: Einheit Produktionen
