As basis most probably Black Metal, but ║ │ │║ so much more built on top of it, grandiose ║ │ │║ melodies, variable vocals (blackish as well as ║ │ │║ clear-heroic), very good structures and ║ │ │║ arrangements, basically you cannot really ║ │ │║ compare FOREFATHER to any other band. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Already the opening title-track brings us for ║ │ │║ one Black Metallic guitars and a fast rhythm ║ │ │║ together with not so gruff Black Metal-vocals, ║ │ │║ but also traditional passages, calmer or just ║ │ │║ more melodic, with the excellent clear voice of ║ │ │║ Wulfstan, which adds its very special and own ║ │ │║ touch to the material. But also on the rest of ║ │ │║ the album we only get top-quality music, which ║ │ │║ never gets boring or shallow, but always knows ║ │ │║ to convince with own ideas and melodies, be it ║ │ │║ through intelligent use of keyboards, great ║ │ │║ guitar-leads or the vocals. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ To point out highlights is almost impossible, ║ │ │║ because everything is on an equally high level ║ │ │║ and for a self-produced album the sound, too, ║ │ │║ has turned out to be great, so I can only tell ║ │ │║ you one thing: Search for this one and get it, ║ │ │║ it is absolutely worth it! (And maybe I should ║ │ │║ have given "Engla Tocyme" a 9, tooà) ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 01 - The Fighting Man [04:48] │ │ 02 - A New Dawn [05:41] │ │ 03 - Together They Stood [04:58] │ │ 04 - For These Shores [05:39] │ │ 05 - The Call to Arms [02:28] │ │ 06 - Out of Darkness [04:38] │ │ 07 - The Paths of Yesterdays [07:33] │ │ 08 - The Last Battle [04:47] │ │ 09 - When Our England Died [03:20] │ │ │ │ Total Length : [43:52 minn │ │ │ │ │ │ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ╔═════════════════════╗ │ │ ║ Greetings To: ║ │ │ ╚═════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ Too all people who contributes to make this │ │ archive of good music in a exceptional conditions │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │■ ■│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
