Today’s review is of Austrian Black Metal band Irdorath’s debut album, celebrating its recent rerelease.
This album offers some fast-paced and furious Extreme Metal with a certainly dark fury to it. The full-length is plagued by catchy riffs and powerful melodies, and while it doesn’t display any element of innovation, it surely offers material of good quality.
While one may find Enthroned influences on the album, it also highly leans towards a Blackened Death Metal approach that gives it some extra strength without falling into excess. While it is aggressive, it also includes some obscure passages that give some depth to the maniac assault of thundering drums and relentless tremolo picking. It fits the central European Black Metal guidelines pretty well, but it also has some further bite that its peers don’t emphasize as much on. My personal highlights are “Windgeist” and “Form Des Todes”.
I recommend this album to fans of Black Metal and Blackened Death Metal. My rating is of 8,5/10.
