Bloodthorn - Onwards into Battle
Welcome to part two of the Bloodthorn saga. Onwards into Battle continues the story started on Bloodthorn’s first release In the Shadow of Your Black Wings. This is the story of a mighty king who leads his faithful army to war against an unfathomable evil, which dwells within Tower Bloodthorn. This story is presented in the form of a masterpiece of symphonic Black Metal the likes of which you’ve never heard before. From the opening track, Bloodthorn draws you in and floods your senses with a whirlwind of cascading guitar melodies, raspy Black Metal vocals, thundering drums, and atmospheric keyboard passages. Ethereal female vocals drift into the music to add a haunting yet beautiful dimension. Each aspect of the music seems to enhance another. For instance, the guitars and keyboards complement one another instead of one overwhelming the other. The male and female vocals blend quite well. And neither the drums nor the bass are buried in the production. Each instrument is produced with striking clarity. There’s really no point in trying to compare Bloodthorn to any other band. I’ve never heard anything quite like this; it’s more than just mere music. This is a listening experience that will stay with you long after the music stops. The saga doesn’t end with Onwards into Battle, there are yet more tales to be told…
