Ereb Altor - Pagan Doom/Viking Metal

[MFJ]

I found these guys while just randomly fucking around on Metal-Archives. They play a pretty interesting mix of Doom and Viking Metal. At times I'm even reminded of Nordland-era Bathory and Lunar Strain-era In Flames. There are some good folk-ish melodies and the clean vocals are very nice. Their demo "Awakening" is available in its entirety on their site-

Enjoy!

WMA is supremely annoying.

 

[Erik]

But this officially FUCKING RULES

 

[MFJ]

Yeah, it really really does. This shit is amazing, I just finished the demo and I'm going around for another run. Just wish it was mp3...

 

[Demilich]

fuckin WMA.

i shall listen when Zirnindu-sa finishes.

Also check out Fejd. They are a traditional swedish folk group. They are listed as Folk-Metal, but there are infact no electric guitars. It's more like kick-ass folk rock that makes you want to get hosed and jam. Great, great stuff.

(oh, and both of their demos are for download on the site. I reccomend "I en tid som var...")

 

[Demilich]

feel free to keep tossing out bands like this for us who are too lazy

 

[MFJ]

Don't worry, there's more to come.

my comments:

Ereb Altor: "Winter Wonderland" was good but not that great really, The Awakening sounds a little more promising

Fejd: I know I've heard these guys before, but you've re-awakened my interest and now I must contact them and buy a copy of Huldran with the other one as a bonus.

 

[MFJ]

grab me one too kthx

 

[Krilons Resa]

ill dl this when i dont feel like vomiting.

 

[Demilich]

Ereb Altor sounded really, REALLY boring to me. nothing too special at all. i've already forgotten pretty much all of it. Fejd on the other hand... BOING!

 

[spaffe]

Yeah I agree, Ereb was not very good in any way, boring lyrics and pretty weak vocals :|

[MFJ]

It has a heavy Bathory thing going on... I like it a lot...

 

[Tranquillian]

Total "twilight of the gods" worship, I love it.

 

[IOfTheStorm]

poor bathory-wannabe thing, mediocre indeed

 

[Erik]

So I wrote these guys asking how to get a copy of the demo, and it appears that both members are also in Isole, a Swedish trad doom metal band that I need to hear more of (so I will probably buy their album when ordering the Ereb Altor demo.) He also informed me that Ereb Altor is recording an album later this year.

www.forevermore.se <-- order from here

Isole is pretty good. Guess I'll finally listen to these samples later today since im starting to feel better.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]
