Neoheresy - Potop (2016, Elegy records)
Formerly Hellveto and earlier Blackagir, Neoheresy formed in 2014 from Poland is a one man band that goes
from Pagan Black Metal to Symphonic Metal. You’ll hear reminiscents of Einherjer and Samael in the structure of the songs and the handling of the Black
Metal elements.
Playing on
mid-tempos and folk rhythms, Potop
has this moody almost ambiant quality that has a ritualistic depth. This makes
a final product that sounds epic and a lot of the cheesy side of the epic
label. The orchestrations, the chorus, and the echo makes it a very symphonic
version of Metal.
Overall, this
is not a bad album at all, but it is repetitive at best and the saturation of
sounds, echos, and samplings are not what I would call a go to. It looses my
attention with song structures and the familiar template of Samael. It is an album I struggled to
connect with and that I might not be revisiting in the future despite the fact
that I’ve tried and I wanted to like it.
