            █  Watain is a band that likes to take their time,     █
            █  often trying the patience of long-time fans. This   █
            █  is nothing new, as we've had to endure these long   █
            █  dry spells in-between albums, for the past decade.  █
            █  Reaping Death is their latest release, the first    █
            █  since 2007's Sworn to the Black. A lot has          █
            █  happened in the last three years. Unfortunately,    █
            █  as with many other bands when they begin to make a  █
            █  name for themselves, Watain have earned a large     █
            █  amount of new followers... often, the wrong kind.   █
            █  Many people are vacant and cannot form opinions or  █
            █  thoughts of their own, so they are drawn to those   █
            █  who are genuine and seem to latch onto them. This   █
            █  has been the case with many bands before them and   █
            █  is likely to continue. At any rate, this E.P. is    █
            █  but a small taste of the full-length album that is  █
            █  to come. It contains one new song, from the         █
            █  upcoming album, Lawless Darkness, and a cover of    █
            █  an old Bathory song. At least, on the version that  █
            █  I have. Others have a cover of Death SS.            █
            █  "Reaping Death" wastes no time getting right to     █
            █  the point. Everything comes crashing in from the    █
            █  nothingness, with even the vocals not bothering to  █
            █  let the listener get accustomed to the riffs        █
            █  before rising up and spewing venom in all           █
            █  directions. After about a minute of this furious    █
            █  assault, the pace slows down and an eerie           █
            █  atmosphere envelopes the land and the haunting      █
            █  guitar melodies fill enter your veins, like a       █
            █  plague that will rot you from the inside. The       █
            █  riffs are very much in the typical Watain style     █
            █  and this song would not, at all, be out of place    █
            █  on the previous album. The faster parts include     █
            █  some thrashy riffs and double-kick drums. However,  █
            █  the slower riffs dominate the song, interrupted by  █
            █  an unexpected, yet welcomed, lead solo, before the  █
            █  song reaches its conclusion. As the song ends, one  █
            █  can breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that the      █
            █  band has not abandoned their principles or their    █
            █  sound, as many bands have done by their fourth      █
            █  record.                                             █
            █  Reaping Death does not show much of the             █
            █  earth-shattering 'rebirth of Black Metal' that is   █
            █  promised with the coming full-length, but that is   █
            █  something that is probably impossible for anyone    █
            █  to achieve these days. Nonetheless, it's very       █
            █  solid and confirms that the new Watain album is     █
            █  going to be another good collection of songs from   █
            █  one of the few bands, currently, keeping the old    █
            █  spirit alive.                                       █

            Û  some thrashy riffs and double-kick drums. However,  Û
            Û  the slower riffs dominate the song, interrupted by  Û
            Û  an unexpected, yet welcomed, lead solo, before the  Û
            Û  song reaches its conclusion. As the song ends, one  Û
            Û  can breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that the      Û
            Û  band has not abandoned their principles or their    Û
            Û  sound, as many bands have done by their fourth      Û
            Û  record.                                             Û
            Û  Reaping Death does not show much of the             Û
            Û  earth-shattering 'rebirth of Black Metal' that is   Û
            Û  promised with the coming full-length, but that is   Û
            Û  something that is probably impossible for anyone    Û
            Û  to achieve these days. Nonetheless, it's very       Û
            Û  solid and confirms that the new Watain album is     Û
            Û  going to be another good collection of songs from   Û
            Û  one of the few bands, currently, keeping the old    Û
            Û  spirit alive.                                       Û
