Wolfenhords/The Truth Shall Set You Free/Frozen Darkness Productions/2011 CD Review


Wolfenhords are a 1 man project from Croatia that started out as being raw ns black metal but progressed more into a folk/thrash style of black metal with this new release and this is a review of their 2011 album "The Truth Shall Set You Free" which was released by Frozen Darkness productions.

Drums range from slow, mid paced to fast drumming with some blast beats being thrown in at times, while the bass playing has a very a strong and powerful tone that dominates throughout the recording, as for the folk instruments when they are utilized they bring a pagan feeling to the music with some epic sounding synths being used on occasion.

Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast riffing that combines black metal with thrash and folk music with a good amount of melodies being thrown in as well as a brief use of clean playing, while the lead guitars have a very melodic and epic sound to them.

Vocals are mostly black/thrash growls and screams, while the lyrics cover Anti- Christianity, Paganism, Croatian Nationality and Occultism, as for the production it has a very dark, raw and primitive sound to it.


In my opinion while this album might take time to grow on some fans of this project and if you are looking for something original that combines folk, black metal and thrash, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Bastard Religion" "Saturn Rising" "They Live' and "Vampire Hunters". RECOMMENDED BUY.
