Tangorodrim is a band that plays a mix between black and death metal with some eighties influences (They have a certain Celtic Frost flavor which I liked a lot). There are six tracks here which have no mercy for the listener. They crush your brain with their killer riffs track after track. I liked very much the drumming which is more than blast beats (even if they use blast beats in some parts like the beginning of "Blind Aggression"). The sound is good but I would have liked the drums a little bit louder (specially the snare drum that is a little bit opaque). The guitars are crushing and make really good riffs (there are certain riffs which are clearly rocking but played with a very low and fat sound like the one in the beginning of "Palewoods". A great album !! The recording is from 1999 so I would like to listen this guys new material. They rule ! Favorite tracks: "Unholy metal Way", "Palewoods" and "Bestial Sleep".
