Claymore - Released
I’ll be honest, I didn’t really have much interest in this 5-song demo/CDR until I saw the band mentioned in the thanks list on the new Red Chord album. What handy little marketing tools thanks lists are. Well, these guys aren’t bad. I am actually reminded of newer Varathron of all things. Melodic, adventurous Black/Death showcasing a ton of musical talent, especially in the keyboard department. Great drumming, decent riffs, and the vocalist even sounds like Necroabyssious. All I would change, other than the poor production, is the gay Celtic harmonies that everyone seems to be using nowadays. Or maybe they’re supposed to be Irish, Scottish, Finnish, or whatever fucking kind of traditional Folk-sounding bullshit you can think of. The bottom line is that if it sounds like an Irish Spring commercial or makes me envision men in kilts, it’s not cool, it has no place in Metal, and I don’t want any part of it. It’s fucking 2005, get with the god damn program!
