WINTERFYLLETH have been one of the better UK Black Metal acts of the recent years, with their previous album The Mercian Sphere being one of the best UK Black Metal albums of the past years. Their third album, The Threnody Of Triumph, has now managed to go to even greater heights. Epic, soaring choirs, riffs that will worm themselves into your ear and won't come out again. So many amazing songs on this album - there is not one bad song on this album. Those are not just songs, but hymns, hymns to people who have died. The lyrics are about how the ancient British people used to view death in the past, about their spirituality and how they dealt with death. Æfterield-Fréon is a short interlude that incorporates violins and it fits in perfectly before all hell breaks loose for A Memorial. The Glorious Plain, which is a typical WINTERFYLLETH song, brought to perfection with epic choirs and riffs that will haunt you. Home Is Behind is a wonderful, wonderful instrumental acoustic song, before the album closes with the title song The Threnody Of Triumph, another song that just begs to be played live and bang your head to it.

I cannot wait to see these songs live and sing along to them - it's near impossible not to be moved by this album. If WINTERFYLLETH happen to play near you, go and check them out.
