Vindland – Hanter Savet Review

Vindland – Hanter Savet Review

Hanter Savet by Vindland is an amazing mix of pagan metal and melodic black metal from France. It has classic black metal elements such as fast drums, tremolo riffs and ethereal acoustic passages but Hanter Savet also features very melodic guitar riffs with a taste of pagan influence but while still holding the black metal atmosphere. Riffs can extend from epic pagan sounding to very melancholic harmonies which are heard very strongly in songs such as "Serr-Noz" and "Pedenn Koll". Songs like "Treuzwelus" really accent this pagan influence with melodic leads and galloping picking patterns very subtly supported by keys. The vocals fit right in and have a classic black metal feel with mid and high screams. The production is great for a release like this.  Everything is very clear and well mixed yet still hold that black/pagan metal atmosphere.

Hordes of apocalypse – The melting body horror experience

Hordes of apocalypse – The melting body horror experience

Hordes of the apocalypse keeps going strong with the 80's horror theme, which turns it into a little bit of nostalgia to listen to. “The melting body horror experience” seems like they had a lot of cool ideas for songs and then crammed them all into one album instead of working on each idea to refine it more.

The lyrics are still fun to listen to and the George A. Romero feel is a pretty good theme, but it still feels a little bit like they're trying to figure themselves out. I liked the singing parts and that is something I'd like to see them develop more. The intros (and outros) to some of the songs are hilariously misleading as to what kind of music it is, but the feel of them is definitely right.

I'll give them a six out of ten as they had a lot of fun ideas that I would love to see developed but they sometimes sound a little like they're still practicing. They have potential to become pretty awesome, but it feels like they're not quite there yet.
