REVIEW: VARATHRON - THE LAMENT OF GODS

 


VARATHRON - THE LAMENT OF GODS (Precipice Recordings - 2001): The legend of Greek balck metal is back!!!!! This is one of the bands that started the black metal scene in Greece togethere with Rotting Christ and Necromantia in the beginning of the nineties. Not like the first ones, Varathron continued to do the same style of melodic black metal that carachterized them, evolving but not changing style. This MCD (they are recording the follow up) starts with "Fire Spell/Forbidden Lust" a mid tempo track with interesting keyboard interventions and intelligent ideas. The main feature of Varathron´s music are their rhythms designed to blat your head off and their melodies that are all over the place done with guitars and keyboards. A clear example of this is "The World Through Ancient Eyes". Really good recording of this masters of darkness. I only have to add: We are awaiting for the new long duration recording.
