Winterfylleth专辑介绍：Lovingly pinchd from Echoes And Dust: Winterfylleth are a very interesting proposition, and first introduced themselves with an incredible album called Ghosts of Heritage, which truly was a thing of wonder, with lyrical content that was based and seemingly more than keen on the middle ages history – or more importantly what had gone on within the British Isles – as witnessed in the jaw dropping ‘The March To Maldon’ followed by ‘Brithnoth – The Battle Of Maldon (991 AD)’ as a perfect case in point. As many are fully aware, ancient history, a country’s tradition and the combination of extreme metal is a massive winner and adds much flavour and interesting sonic dynamics that underpin a band. Cynics may point out that it’s samey samey, but I believe many bands have a lot of individuality. Such as Nile and Karl Sanders‘ massive pathological obsession with Egyptology, Drudkh and Negura Bunget and their ethereal other-wordly flavours that take the listener on not so much a mere listen, but more of sonic odyssey. Winterfylleth are a band that file nicely to that form of extreme metal, and in the process of a mere handful of years are progressing with strength to strength, rapidly climbing up through the ranks of extreme metal’s best bands – not just in the UK but worldwide in general. Which brings us neatly onto their 4th studio album The Divination of Antiquity, which is scheduled for release in October from Candlelight Records. The album opens with the title track, which to my ears is a decent tune but is merely a taster for what further sonic delights are revealed when you listen further. ‘Whispers of the Elements’ starts off with fast paced riffs but then takes twists and turns to more melodic atmospheres before continuing on with a blasting sonic attack; very much like the aural equivalent of travelling down a river but witnessing faster and slower parts of the stream as you continue your adventure along it.
