Track List: 1-Aus Edlem Blut, 2- Im Weissen Wald, 3- Jagdheim

What do we have here? This CD consists in three tracks from this guys from Germany. The first one strats as a nordic black metal band and within the first two minutes it turns into something completely different with voices that are closer to gothic and riffs that are more rhythmic than fast (some of them almost rocking). This is possible I think because this track is more than fourteen minutes long and allows this guys to develope some great ideas within the same song structure (there are also some twin guitar melodies in there too, some riffs in the old Paradise Lost vein, etc.). The second track "Im Weissen Wald" is the shortes with almost eight minutes. The main feature here are the vocals done in a manner that remind old pagan songs that are sung over some guitar riffs that are the basis of the track. Again the combination of vocals and guitars reach its climax. This is a great option for those looking for originality and something new within the realms of black metal. Favorite tracks: The three.
