4 track release from 1 man black metal band ,running at 19.20 mins, this is limited to 50 copies that he gave away free to get a bit of interest going in his project and I;m glad I managed to get a copy!! 1st track is "Concubine" and it gets the disc of to a flyer,good raspy vocals and great guitar work,good start!! Next up is "I Met the Dragon" great guitar work again,based on a really good riff.raspy vocals again but some parts have a deeper vocal,another great track. The next track is "Freya Beckoning" and starts with an acoustic guitar playing a very mournful tune for just over a minute and that is that!! very ambient and very good,I liked it! Track 4 is "Across the Pagan Vastelands" and starts with the sound of waves breaking the shore before the intro kicks in, deep vocals kick in about 2 minutes in and the track builds really nicely. This is the only track that Gareth doesn't write the lyrics on,its an epic track and my favourite of the release. It ebbs and flows and shows a really good standard of musicianship,really great guitar work and it shows the many facets to his playing.
I thoroughly enjoyed this release and its going to be a bugger for you to track down unless you were one of the lucky ones that got your mitts on one! Look forward to hearing more from this talented guy,you can contact him on facebook just bung the band name into your browser. 8/10
