Review:
Arctic
Horror is a self-proclaimed Thrash-Doom-Crust Metal band who are
about to release their debut album – upon to the world. And what a
blast of fast-paced brutal riffs the band has in store for you.
Arctic
Horror fuses Hardcore Punk, Thrash Metal, Doom, Crust and hints of
Black Metal for added menace. The album is not the most sophisticated
of sounds as it has a true DIY Punk ethic running through its veins.
Though it is intense and angry as heck right from the start. This
albums sole purpose is to leave you a cold and emotional shivering
wreck as Arctic Horror has an undeniable thirst for terror and
destruction.
The
vocals have a distinct 70s Punk Rock vibe to them though with a
demonic edge to stand out from the crowd. Arctic Horror is a band who
is not afraid to play with genre expectations and turn them on their
head. It seems each band member has his own purpose within the band.
Individually they all have their own musical strengths and influences
ranging from Hardcore Punk, Thrash, Doom, Crust and Black Metal. Put
them altogether and you have a weird and wonderful sounding album.
The albums style of melodic crust d-beats to the heavier thrash metal
riffs that show the band are not afraid to experiment with their
sound.
The
album has its fair share of standout tracks to rock out to – Pit of
Despair, Absolute Zero, Black Robes Rising and Ride High all expertly
showing what Arctic Horror is all about. The album can be rather
bleak and desolate at times. What would you expect with a band called
– Arctic Horror? A happy soulful gang singing Justin Bieber’s
greatest hits round a campfire. Nope. This is pure demonic Blackened
Death and Roll. It is what Kverletak wish they sound like. A true
Death and Roll band with the ability to scare you though entertaining
the heck out of you with some superb blazing riffs to rock out to.
The
band has written a stunning 11-minute epic Overflowing with Hate to
end the album with. It’s another stunning
Death/Thrash/Crust/Punk/Black Metal/Rock and Roll track packed full
of mood and atmosphere, which just oozes class. Though the band add
elements of Drone Based Noise, which plays out like a violent snowy
thunderstorm devouring everything in its path.
Arctic
Horror have delivered a stunning and hard-hitting album that you need
to check out if you want to hear and experience something different
compared to other Death and Roll bands currently out there.
Excellent
and Highly Recommended.
Thanks
to the band for sending me a promo to review. The album will be
available to buy now.
