Is this a great album? Not quite. But, is it a great *tribute* album? Most certainly!

This album is a mixed bag of sorts, and sometimes seems rather formulaic. There are a few gems, but otherwise left me expecting more after hearing the “Man Of No Account” EP a few months back.

Black metal is one of the farthest-reaching genres in all of metal. It manages to put in question many of the ideas of what we think of as metal. The Ruins of Beverast is currently doing this more so than anyone else. Could this sound be the future?

Griftegård obviously know their chops and if you are into doom metal, this is a release that you won’t want to miss.

Rating: 3.5/5

Overall, this a very fun CD and if you’re familiar with the roots of metal and want something that will take you back, this album is a good place to start.

Burden is a group that is influenced by several metal sub-genres (stoner rock, doom). I can honestly say that with the quality of these songs, this EP gives the listener something to look forward to and if it’s any indication of what the full album will sound like, count me in.

Dutch rock occultists THE DEVIL’S BLOOD have spent the last three years clawing their way through the musical establishment, infecting audiences the world over with their enchanting, seductive, haunting hymns.
