Schavot (Dutch for scaffold) breathes the atmosphere of nature, which can be rough and ruthless, but also magical and full of beauty.
“Only the trees witnessed what happened in the distant past. Events, which to date are still told in folk tales. Old hollow oaks might whisper the story of witchcraft, perhaps they saw ‘Huttenkloas’ wandering the moors, looking for an unsuspecting merchant to rob and crush his skull with an axe. Torn old pines with dead branches might have seen the will-o’-the-wisps, that lured travelers into the depths of the marsh…”.
Not much is known about entity called Alone except that it hails from Canada and this is its first release. Opus called I – IV because there are four songs on this one, being a bit longer and called The wars, The sea, The hunt, The cavern. Music of Alone can be described as melodic yet fast black metal with some really melancholic riffs and melodies beneath all the blast beats and aggression. My personal favorite is The hunt being the longest song on the opus but having most atmosphere from anguish and aggression of primal black metal to calm acoustic parts which fit perfectly to the overall mindset of the song. Vocals are crushing and screaming their lungs off and I think that they are just perfect for this kind of black metal. This is a good one, so if you are a fan of such music, go grab this one.
Auld are hailing from Australia and this is their new e.p. with Eschatonic Records. There are three songs on this opus. Music of Auld is black metal, in its melodic and atmospheric form, cleverly balancing between harshness and melancholy, reminding me why this is best music to express your inner self. Vocals are more into growling and almost death doom vein in some song parts, but fit just right. Am Fear Liath Mor is a slower atmospheric song, almost blackened doom vibe with lots of beautiful melancholic guitar melodies topped with growled vocals and impressive drum work. Hollow Mews continues in the wake of last song, but adds more aggression and blast beats to the overall atmosphere of anguish. The title song is for me the best one on this e.p. Good one, can´t wait for the full length.
