WOLFHOWL – The Purity of Mother
Nature
War
Productions
I
like it when bands don’t rush things and WOLFHOWL definitely don’t. This one
man band hailing us from the beautiful Ioanian island of Kefalonia is here four
years after the debut EP, “My Return to the Mountains”, with its sophomore EP
containing four tracks and clocking in approximately 21 minutes.
I don’t think
anyone who’s into metal would ever make a mistake as to the approach WOLFHOWL
choose to follow. This is a pure black metal band following reverently the
principles of the first era of this genre, which means there is no place for
keyboards here, just pure, raw black metal ranging from mid paced to up tempo.
Faethon who is the man behind WOLFHOWL has done a great job with everything
from the songwriting to the compositions and from the arrangements to the
execution of the songs… you see Faethon is responsible for everything and the
fact that he has written the songs, played all the instruments and did the
vocals makes this even more special. The improvement is more than obvious and
the songs have the necessary darkness; they are black and sharp and are
surrounded by a cold atmosphere that fits perfectly to the lyrics that sing
about Mother Nature. The riffs are catchy, the melodies are dark and tempting
and the rhythm section is solid and supports the songs really well… What else
can someone ask for from an old school black metal release? WOLFHOWL prove to
be a force of nature and show us here that it’s a band with potential, a band
the black metallers should keep in mind and check out.
