Bathyum - Rituals of the Damned (2016, Heathen Tribes)
The so-called
second wave of Black Metal of the early 1990’s has been a huge influence on
many formations of Metal. The transition of the first four albums of Bathory to the Unholy trinity of DarkThrone has carried a shitload of
great and not so great albums and bands. Is it still possible to take what was
at the time an evolution in the counter culture that Black Metal was inventing
and make it as interesting without falling into the obvious nostalgia of this
long gone era?
