RockmusicRaider Review - Stortregn - Emptiness Fills The Void - Album Cover

Stortregn‘s 2016 record Singularity starts with this friggin’ solo. First one guitar, then the second chiming in. Very unusual for the genre they so avidly depict. But this … thing juicily draws you in, a magic metal pull. And down you go through the rabbit hole, where overheated amps shred a growling sound made for the true metalhead. Such stellar beginnings and the ensuing performance will be very difficult to beat on the next record. 

So, with some trepidation, the RockmusicRaider crew stood in waiting for this new offering from the metal hotheads of Stortregn. Will Emptiness Fills … [...] Click to raid more!

Is this a case of Yet Another Extreme Metal Band? A ubiquitous metal offering of the garden variety in approach and execution? 

This often comes to mind when a new jewel case of an Extreme Metal band is cracked open and the metal starts to spill out. Seen it, heard it, got the black t-shirt with the unintelligible darkly magic scripture emblazoned on the front.

Along with genres like Symphonic Metal, Extreme Metal has … [...] Click to raid more!

Unholy Metal Crunch! What is this loudness torturing my eardrums? Something crude.

In Nomine Dei Nostri Satanas Luciferi Excelsi? 

Well, almost, but blasphemously close enough. A juicy mix of a thrashy Heavy Metal beat, Death Metal, and deep, dark Black Metal. And the EP Goat Revenge from the Ukrainian horde Hellfire really puts the pedal to the metal on this one in a way seldom heard these days.

Unleashing full-blooded, highly potent riffs together with throaty Death Metal growls and Black Metal rasps, their tune will awake your head-banging urges, make no mistake. At times Goat Revenge sounds like a meatier, more energized sibling of the … [...] Click to raid more!

Don’t I just love everything involving Lovecraft?

A brilliant horror fiction writer in his own way back at the beginning of the last century. He released materials that still find a large fan base to this day. Unfortunately, metal was not born yet at this time. And we had to wait some more time until some bands took notice. And started to write music on this subject.

The band name – Necronomicon – gets these guys a few brownie points to go straight away. Yet, the title of their new and fifth full-length album called Advent of the Human God … [...] Click to raid more!
