"There is an almost priestly commitment, an almost ritualistic appearance in the concept of the music and lyrics being presented. This is far from something sacred but its exact opposite - the ritual tones of hell, the exploitation of sins and sinful thoughts and actions and some higher state of...

"Sanguinary Trance [...] aims to take that feeling of the late nineties of the most melodic genre and bring it something new. We can say that they did it. These themes have a melodic bent but also a certain maturity that was not at all appreciable in the proposals of the time. Maturity that...

"Sanguinary Trance deliver an EP that does not deviate from the stylistic point of view, finding its most obvious references in the classic sound of the second wave of black metal, and therefore typically 90s, but also highlights the attempt made by the mastermind of the project to find his own...

"This is a work that will certainly not be easy to listen to for those who love more polished sounds and cleaner compositions. However, in the chaos of a genre like black metal, Sanguinary Trance turns out to be a project that is able to show off immediately as a revelation, like a white fly in...

"The Austrian project chases through the cold with painfully clashing guitars, which sometimes remind of old Immortal and early Kampfar. Sometimes they mesmerize with fast-paced, scary-beautiful and slightly epic melodies, sometimes SANGUINARY TRANCE are subtly disharmonious, which keeps the...

"Providing a unique mix of melodic black metal phrasing with a sense of chaos, this twenty-three-minute release leaves the listener off balance with its off-kilter character. The rhythm section lays down solid traditional blackness, but the guitars go off in unexpected directions while the...

"Each of the three tracks constitute a unique offering, bound together by a dense atmosphere and traditional black metal style. What then sets Sanguinary Trance apart is the drive and ability of the project to weave sparks of the baleful, grotesque, and sometimes mystical, into the energy of...

"“Wine, Song and Sacrifice” is an album where the maniac and hypnotizing notes are present all around it and that’s what makes it more insane even for the insane Black metal standards. [...] The epic and grad tittle track has lots of moments when you reallt wonder if the musicians know what...

"Well bugger me sideways, there aren’t many EP’s that pack this much clout AND vision. All in all, a strong first offering from the fledgling outfit. Whatever visions Sanguinary Trance have witnessed in the twilight, one can only hope they will return soon. For now, allow Wine, Song And...

"If they had not told me that this was from 2018, I could easily guess that it is old material. And every time I hear it I can not stop thinking about Hirilorn, Sacrilegium or even the first Satyricon material; [...] A unique experience; an unparalleled journey of chaos and madness perfectly...

"Wine, Song and Sacrifice is truly an EP to behold. Through three offerings it is incredibly varied and unique, each track bringing something different to the gnarled and chewed up blackened table. With ripping riffs, a greatly varied vocal delivery, machine gun drumming and an overall raw and...

„A dramatic, chaotic and mournful start catches the listener’s attention immediately. Technically strong musically, combined with brutal vocals provides a level of chaotic energy that is actually very pleasing to listen to. Clashing vocal styles over the consistently chaotic feel provides...
