Hmm. It seems that I should check this out. I'm addicted to Azaghal's approach on BM, so this will be perfect :mrgreen:.
Is this anything like azaghal, their older or newer work?

Now I dont have this Wyrd release, but i suppose this one is also very folkish like their other albums?

Oh yes, dammit, I forgot. Wyrd and Xasthur will release a Split 7"ep at the beginning of next year. Now aint that cool or what !?!?

Hi Gast; well to be honest with you I've only heard Azghal's Perkeleen Luoma and it is quite different to Wyrd. Azaghal's album is very straight to the point agressive Black Metal while this Wyrd album has a very melancholic atmosphere and it varies all the time from Doomish soundscapes to more agressive and faster stuff, although not as agressive as Azaghal.

Anyway, if I know you at least a bit Gast, I'm sure you're going to love this one.




Now that you ask, it was a big fuck up not to mention it on my review sorry and thanx for reminding me Skartasis.

Actually this album has some folk melodies and passages like in the song Cold, Son of the Wind but apart from a bit of folk here and there it has almost no folk; specially when compared to Huldrafolk for example, which is deffinitley Folk Black Metal; Vartimmen Pt. 2 doesn't have enough folk to be defined as folk Black Metal, just some touches here and there; anyway, it's an excellent album.



Indeed that is very, very cool. I can't believe Malefic has all that stuff going on, not only he told me in the interview he's going to release a split with Nortt, but he's also doing a new full-length in 05 and now you tell us about this split.... this man is amazing. Well then; let us wait and hear.


Thanx for all the feedback Gast and Skartasis; hails!

That's why I prefer Azaghal's older stuff
I guess this will fit my taste perfectly, melancholic underground black metal is my favorite genre. Speaking of which, how do you like the new albums from Nachtmystium and that Massemord?

I've played the Nachtmystium album once so far and now I'm playing it again, so I can't really tell my opinion of it yet, but it seems quite quite good, Solitary Vogage is quite a song now that I'm listening to it; but now that I'm on vacations I'll have a lot of time to listen to music; that way I'll cover all of the year's important releases; among them the Nachtmystium (now playing) and the Massemord one (if I can get my hands on it).

Hails Gast !

Where would one buy an album such as this? It seems hard to find.

you could LEGALLY download it.

actually they have a link to a mailorder site on their web site

anybody used them before?

Hmm,not that impressed by this release. Not evenn half as good as pt.1 was. I'd only give it a 70/100.

I actualyy think it's better than part 1... But again: taste, taste, taste...

I think this is a great band and a great album. Pagan black metal for me is defined by how doomy it gets while still being oppressive and bleak. Doom metal on its own bores me, black metal on its own feels silly. The two combined however hit me full force with the emotions of both genres.
