Hades
The Dawn Of The Dying Sun
[Full Moon]
viking metal from sweeden came out at '96. hades music
is quite typical for it's genere , the songs are quite
long and the lyrics are mostly about the viking gods.
even though, this album has a special feel, the guitar
riffs are mostly mid paced acompannied by keyboards
here and there and it is very much folk influenced.
there are also aucustic parts (especially on the 4th
song , wich is excellent ). they also use some more
traditional instruments in the last song. the vocals
are more grim black metal style instead of the more
clean vocals oftenly used in viking metal, wich are
used here only in the intro of one song and and mainly
in the last song. the production om this album is
quite rough and grindy which gives the drums a
somewhat hallow sound , but in general a harsh feeling
for the whole album. conclusion : a good album made by
a good band , maybe they could be better , but because
of songs like "alone walkyng" , "awakening of kings"
or "crusade of the underworld hordes" this album is
definetly worth checking out.
