WRAITH 'Undo The Chains´ - Review By Gravarson

Redefining Darkness Records

RELEASE DATE: September 24th

PREORDER Vinyl / CD or https://shop.redefiningdarkness.com/

These old school worshipping thrash maniacs in WRAITH delivers a solid 12 track named ´Undo The Chains´ which can be described as raw and simple and trashy black n roll but powerful and dark 80’s like metal influences with a not so necro but hard and very fitting sound for WRAITH and the overall production on 'Undo The Chains´.

The songs are relatively short but fast paced and blended with good riffs and guitars.

The vocals are not scream or growly but raw and fit into the whole and it is just to open a beer or whatever you do on friday and enjoy this ride.

There is no weak spots or fillers on Undo The Chains´

It’s straight in your face speed metal yet with melodic hints at the same time without losing the raw edge of it all.

I hope this album gets the attention it deserves 'cause it will rip you apart if you let it.

Trashy riffs that can’t go wrong if you want a feelgood album to bang your head to with thrash,punk,metal influences this is it PLAY LOUD!

Destruction meets Venom with a blend of 70’s metal on speed.

Just listen to tracks like Born To Die, Gatemaster,Gift Of Death, Bite Back.

Want a quality thrash metal album that swallows you raw with a little bit of punk metal and heavy 80’s German thrash attack nostalgia, look no further.

Alfahanne's (Swe) debut 'Alfapokalyps' soon to be released by Dark Essence Recordings

Dark Essence Records Release: 10 February 2014

With a mix of Black Metal with Classic Rock and Punk, and topped off with some New Wave and Goth influences, Alfahanne has created a style of music that is powerful and beautiful, yet ugly at the same time. 

Alfahanne might be a fairly new name to a lot of people, but the band’s members, which include Pehr Skioldhammer on Vocals and Guitar, Fredrik Sööberg on Guitars, Niklas Åström on Drums and Jimmy Wiberg on Bass,  have been around the Black Metal scene since the early ‘90’s, playing in bands like Vinterland and early Maze Of Torment. Formed in 2010, Alfahanne’s debut release came in 2013 with the appearance of the “Grym” split 7” with Sweden’s Shining.

The Debut “Alfapokalyps”, contains 10 tracks that stands on their own, all sung in Swedish. There’s a lot of variation on the album, and the songs goes off in very different directions. The overall sound combines a unique mix of the dark and grim atmospheres of Black Metal, the attitude and energy of Punk and Classic Rock and the melodies and feeling of 80’s New Wave and Goth. The band have been able to attract the services of Taake’s Hoest, Shining’s Niklas Kvarforth, and Helheim’s V’gandr as guest vocalists, on one song each.

With Alfahanne, there is one way in and no way out!
