Well, I supposed
to hear some another trashy and low-produced ultra evil Black
Metal band from Greece. But hey, errare humanum est! I really
failed with my forecast! BLACK WINTER would really
blast themselves into the heaven of coolness of Melodic Black
Metal! Fucking great, melodic, cool and perfectly played leads,
which are influenced by the typical 80s Heavy Metal riffs and
rhythms. In addition here come the rocky and polyphone guitar
solos, that sympathizes with those of (old) Metallica and Iron
Maiden. However, the biggest part of the four compositions comes
in Melodic Black Metal style with tremolo-guitars like chants
and harmony-anthems in a good and fat production. This band demonstrates
all people the opposite, who mean that melodic BM has to be overflowed
with keyboards. The only minus on Dismal Fields Of
Nihilism is the lack of individualism. Of course
this album shines bright a real metal feeling, but there is a
lack of recognition, because it’s similar to bands like
Dissection (but not as fast and technical) or Amon Amarth. If
you listen to the vocals, you could say, that they are really
influenced by those of Mystic Circle. However, this band deserves
to be heard!!!
