But wow! What ║ │ │║ a great cover! Folks, you know exactly that you ║ │ │║ can lure me in with thatà ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ The info says something about Melodic Black ║ │ │║ Metal, it's two guys from England, so CRADLE OF ║ │ │║ FILTH? Hell, no! I had already prepared for ║ │ │║ something hefty, but what Athelstan and Wulfstan ║ │ │║ have come up with here is great, really great!v ║ │ │║ Very melodic, with rough as well as clean ║ │ │║ vocals, it reminds me a little of VINTERSORG, ║ │ │║ even though there is a lot less folk and the ║ │ │║ voice sounds different, but the atmosphere is ║ │ │║ comparable to the Swede, I can't help ità A ║ │ │║ little Viking Metal is also gliding along, so ║ │ │║ let's call it Anglo Saxon Metal. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ What the Vikings for AMON AMARTH and co. are the ║ │ │║ Anglo Saxons for FOREFATHER, the founders of ║ │ │║ England and Great Britain. The duo tells stories ║ │ │║ of battles, explorations and legends, supported ║ │ │║ by very, very melodic music, which just has ║ │ │║ feeling, the guitars are the most Black Metallic ║ │ │║ element, but still they are far more than just ║ │ │║ that. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Here and there the guitars remind me of the ║ │ │║ Belarus-gods GODS TOWER, intricate, but still ║ │ │║ with a light Folk-touch, the voice ║ │ │║ proclamatory/narratingly singing, sounds great, ║ │ │║ not the usual standard-whine or croak or that, ║ │ │║ but fitting the overall sound of FOREFATHER ║ │ │║ perfectly. Only the production here and there is ║ │ │║ a little under-bass-ed, a little more power in ║ │ │║ that department would surely not have hurt. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Coming from nowhere, attacking me with such a ║ │ │║ strong content, those are the surprises I never ║ │ │║ tire of, all who did not have this luck, watch ║ │ │║ out for "Engla Tocyme", the British form of ║ │ │║ Viking Metal, mostly with clear and heroic ║ │ │║ vocals, very melodic and atmospheric, both ║ │ │║ thumbs up! ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 01 - Engla Tocyme [05:46] │ │ 02 - Into the Forever [05:32] │ │ 03 - Iron Hand [04:46] │ │ 04 - Fifeldor [05:36] │ │ 05 - The Swan's Road [03:42] │ │ 06 - Forever in Chains [06:57] │ │ 07 - The Fate of Kings [08:01] │ │ │ │ Total Length : [40:20 minn │ │ │ │ │ │ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ╔═════════════════════╗ │ │ ║ Greetings To: ║ │ │ ╚═════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ Too all people who contributes to make this │ │ archive of good music in a exceptional conditions │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │■ ■│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
