Founded in
2007, England's OLD CORPSE ROAD have slowly made their
way into the current top UK black metal bands with their brand
of unique Folk and Black Metal. 'Tis Witching Hour
is their first full length album, after a split with The Meads
Of Asphodel and an EP. Their name was taken from a road in the
Lake District - in the UK corpse roads were roads where the dead
were taken to the cemetery, spawning a lot of ghost stories and
tales. OLD CORPSE ROAD are telling the tales of British
folklore, their music is haunting, enchanting and theatrical.
Stories are told in different kind of voices - whispering, shouting,
spoken and when they lay in, they really create some fierce black
metal. You will not get bored by this album quickly, and I dare
you not to have Isobel – Queen Of The Scottish Witches
and The Wild Voice Came/The Crier Of Claiffe as an earworm
soon.
