BLACK FUNERAL - Wallachian Voivode EP
Dark Adversary Productions
So I've been a BLACK FUNERAL fan since, whoa wait a minute I'll save that story when they put out another full length. What we have here is a two song EP by this Texas black metal institution. Mainman Akhtya Nachttoter (vocals / bass / electronics) still thinks it 1995 when it comes to black metal and good for him. For those of you who don't know, Akhtya Nachttoter thinks Texas is Norway. I'm just saying.
Anyways this is a good / typical BLACK FUNERAL release to say the least. The first track, "Wallachian Voivode (Screams of the Impaled)" is an almost twelve minute long opus about you know who. It has all the obvious points which are part ambient and full on grim & frosty sounds. Azgorh Drakenhof, who joined the band in 2015, is perfectly skilled in cold and cruel blackened riffs. Add to that everything else he adds to the sound is perfect.
The drum work by An Unnamed Spirit, who's been with the band since 2020, is decent enough. On the second track, the five and half minute"Scholomance (The Dragon's Elixir)", he's pretty much keeping time while Akhtya Nachttoter bass plays and vocalizes across harsh and ugly vocal tones. Azgorh Drakenhof contributes the most cold brew riffs imaginable from the US.
In the end I'm bias, I'm a BLACK FUNERAL fan. Now when is the next full length coming out?
