LORD WIND (POL)
This is the Rob Darken’s project so maybe you aspect it in the same style of the his more famous band Graveland.
Well, it’s really more folkish and instrumental than its main band, leaving every metal reminiscence apart. What it’s more characteristic of Lord Wind’s sound is that everything really suits good the “ancient” atmospheres: passing from the instrumental parts (sometimes recall me Mortiis first albums in the more pompous approach) to more folk ones using background hymns, battle sounds and very great cymbals playing. A really well arranged album: more than 1 hour of running time but he didn’t leave nothing to the case.
Of course, “Herald Of Fights” is not a CD for everyone: if you are not into instrumental and mysterious tunes it can be a bit lethargic after a while but if this is the style you are fond of, you’ll love it.
