Release Notes:
Something happened to IsraelÆs Winterhorde in the
four years since their last 2006 album, Nebula.
Because as of right now, weÆre not really dealing
with the same melodic black metal band anymore û
weÆre dealing with a band that has expanded and
evolved its sound to unprecedented heights,
unexpectedly birthing one of 2010Æs finest metal
releases in the process.
In total, WinterhordeÆs Underwatermoon is a
melting-pot of extreme metal styles, blending the
symphonic, melodic black, and progressive subgenres
for a slightly Middle-Eastern-tinged product so
diversified yet collective in its length that it
rivals Orphaned LandÆs Mabool and Mirrorthrone's
Carriers of Dust for the ownership of the throne of
extreme-metal combination.
Winterhorde do this over the course of
UnderwatermoonÆs playing time by intertwining a
concept based off a story about a Spanish gypsy and
a foreign transit sailor with the bandÆs varied
instrumental sections. Clean and harsh vocals are
present throughout the albumÆs narrative, often
switching on a dime from a smooth transitional
singing section from vocalist Horeph or a guest
female part, to suddenly letting loose with the
lead singerÆs screams, sometimes in conjunction
with that of the other band members for added
harmony.
Instrumentally, Winterhorde flow seamlessly through
Underwatermoon as a collective unit, using each of
their membersÆ diverse histories in music to make
the albumÆs varied sections work surprisingly well
as a whole. The riffing and soloing from guitarists
Barakk and Lex is strong and memorable, making the
heavy sections such as the opening of ôWreckages
Ghostö or the frantic-speed guitar solo jaunts of
the nine-minute ôThe Curse of Gypsyö moments that
will sync up with listeners' minds on their second
time through the album, as well as indirectly
highlight by contrast the duoÆs acoustic interludes
that show up often on Underwatermoon.
It wouldnÆt be wrong to say that Winderhorde do
what symphonic black metal band Carach Angren did
earlier this year on their sophomore album, Death
Came Through A Phantom Ship, only do it much
better. Unlike the prior, the band is adept at
keeping the story-concept serious in its
representation on Underwatermoon, while making sure
that the clean vocal sections, female and/or male,
donÆt disrupt the albumÆs excellent flow. This is a
vital point, as what makes the album work as well
as it does is found in how its contents seamlessly
work together throughout its length, all to come to
a triumphant and satisfying close with the light,
delicate acoustics of finale "Farewell".
Now, considering that Underwatermoon is an extreme
metal release containing many-things extreme metal,
you have to admit that this is very impressive.
Winterhorde even make sure that each of the
subgenres that they utilize has equal weight in the
albumÆs equation. Symphonic strings are present,
and so are progressive-winding song structures, but
the music stays equally melodic black metal at its
core, too, even when taking the clean vocals into
consideration.
Underwatermoon is obviously not an album for
everyone, though, especially if extreme metal
blends like Mabool or Carriers of Dust may be
off-putting to you. However, the album does contain
a little bit of something for everyone, and itÆs
most likely that with its use in conjunction with
the rest of the WinterhordeÆs influences, youÆll
soon come to appreciate much of what the band has
to offer on their sophomore release. Underwatermoon
is an album that represents a band thatÆs surpassed
expectations to become a powerful force in IsraelÆs
metal scene, unexpectedly creating one of the best
metal releases of 2010.
