 Onwards To The Spectral Defile - Cirith Gorgor
Newest Review: ... ferocity of their traditional black metal approach, these songs sound a little different to most bands out there, and ... more  ... superior to those who they may have been imitating all along.
One of the interesting aspects of Cirith Gorgor is that the rasping vocals of frontman Nimroth can actually be understood for the most part, which is great if you're into the whole Tolkien/fantasy/anti-Christian thing that they are, and still pleasantly atmospheric if you're not. The guitar riffs of Astaroth Daemonum and Asmoday are suitably catchy, but it's their lead work that really stands out, occasionally reminiscent of melodic death metal bands such as A...more |

Holland's Cirith Gorgor seem to be one of the more overlooked black metal bands, at least in comparison to the big Norwegian names that metal reviewers like me throw around all over the place, and it's a shame because they're certainly one of the more interesting acts. With a strong focus on melody that is never allowed to interfere with the sheer ferocity of their traditional black metal approach, these songs sound a little different to most bands out there, and superior to those who they may have been imitating all along.

Combines folk and metal in a satisfying fusion. 
Evidently searching for a more mainstream style, and failing as a result. Powerful and creative prog-power metal. Still predictable to an extent. A great mix of fast paced catchy songs and slower ballads None Violin used well in numerous songs, and band crawls out of the gloom of the previous album. Songs don't stand out, and offer very little. The new song is pretty good, if nothing we haven't heard before. Pointless overdubs of average songs with a copycat singer.Play - Doug E. Fresh
Hip-Hop & Rap - East Coast - 1995
Into The Mourning - All Soul's Day
Decent enough imitation of the Candlemass sound, with the atmosphere of a frozen cathedral. Overlong and lacking in imagination. There's also a rubbish hidden song that destroys the mood.
Music of the Trees - Paul Forrest
gentle, earthy, spiritual music none
Lovejunk - The Refugees
a hybrid of pop tunes and rock attitude none
The Ancient Realm - Aeveron
Successful combination of metal influences, with a crystal clear production job. A little uneven and confused, and almost impossible to come by.
Wigand - Adorned Brood
Interesting and dogmatic take on the folk metal genre. Becomes repetitive and dull fairly quickly, winding up discordant more often than harmonious.
B-day
Great vocals, full of good tracks Beyoncé just didn't seem to push the envelope enough - the album lacks depth
The Thrash of Naked Limbs - My Dying Bride
Lords Of The Underground
Compilation - 1998
