Arthedain are from Germany and play Black Metal. This is their second EP.
Arthedain play Black Metal that’s powered by the frosted winds and icy to the core.
Razor sharp Blackened riffs cut though the chill and the blasting drums pummel all who dare expose themselves to these bitter elements.
When the band slow themselves down they show themselves perfectly capable of getting themselves into a good groove.
Subtle atmospheric highlights enhance the compositions and the band create suitably darkly majestic soundscapes to accompany their art but without ostentation or vulgar overtness.
At 14 minutes in length this only a short introduction to the band really, but it’s one that I have really enjoyed. Arthedain play their Black Metal very well indeed.
Here’s hoping their début album will be as good as this.
