WINTERSTORM “Vinterstormener” CD

The melodies themselves find an engaging balance between pathos, aggression, catharsis, melancholia, and heroism. Given that all of this is funnelled through the strict specs of the mix the actual music doesn’t need to be all that complex to pull off such a broad emotional range. The marriage of composition and delivery finds its paragon on “Vinterstormener” one that surpasses mere nostalgia pandering and becomes its own beast. A reaffirmation of a very specific style of black metal and its enduring virtues if treated with a little imagination.
