BlackMetal Mélodique... mais hargneux ! Franco-Japonais.
Ici, un EP 4 titres relativement courts à 3 mn de moyenne, mais chargés, aux ambiances et mélodies variées, comme à leurs habitudes.
A mon sens, ceci doit s'écouter en entier, dans l'ordre (12'25) car chaque titre est fait pour aller à la suite.
Donc, pas de "favorite". EklektikTrip
"On crache du haut de notre phare ! Drache et brouillard !"
Déhà et Brouillard ont déjà eu l'occasion de se réunir, sur Sphere ou sur Vertige. Les deux artistes les plus influents du black metal atmosphérique se retrouvent sur Brouillard et Drache, triptyque phénoménal qui instaure un climat musical inhospitalier par sa dimension cataclysmique. Sublime de bout en bout, ce split est un instant de poésie par un langage quasi ordurier.

Late 90's BM worship, but it's also a lil more than that. This album takes the best elements from the scene it's inspired by and mostly avoids the worst of it; the song-writing is well-written, it's performed with passion and fun, and the production is raw but isn't lo-fi. (i.e. it doesn't obfuscate and/or suckass).
Tl;dr It's safe but high quality BM. Recommended. Rabbit
I'd say Havukruunu is the rightful holder of the Crown and the mantle of Quorthon. Epic choirs, vikingesque themes and tales from the other times, of the Finnish paganism back in the days before our ancestors were brought to the cross and forced to kneel while feeling the bloody sword of saviour on their throats made to kiss the hand of murderers who burnt thousands, tore down our holy places and took our holy days. Eyes teary I listen to these songs, never forgiving the crimes of the cross! Peikonmieli
