Morrigan
Enter The Sea Of Flames
[Barbarian Wrath]


Another sophomore effort from another Barbarian Wrath band, and as always the quality is high and arguably better than the debut. Morrigan returns and with Enter the Sea of Flames continues on their path of reveling in the glory of battle in the manner of mid-era Bathory. Fewer faster moments are on this disc, with more time spent on the slower, triumphant songs and sections, with more epic atmosphere and more of Beliar's great clean, mournful chorus vocals. Songs like "Come on Bitch, Be My Victim" or the title track still pummel violently, but the pictures of past lives they paint in songs like "Beyond the Green Hills" and "Anam Cara" are where the band's true strenghts lie. Yet another masterpiece from both Morrigan and Barbarian Wrath.
