TROLLWAR Oath Of The Storm
HotTrollwar is a Canadian band, based in Quebec and 'Oath of The Storm' is their second full-lenght album. The album consist of 4 remastered songs from their 2017 EP 'The Traveller's Path' with refined orcestration, while the rest of the material are brand new songs. Trollwar's music can be described as a symphonic mixture of melodic death meal, folk metal and black metal, and parallels can easily be drawn to acts like Amon Amarth, Ensiferum and Finntroll. Hard riffing rhythm guitars, bass and thundering drums are backed up with beautiful guitar harmonies and orchestral arrangments with vocals on top that sounds very typical for this genre. There's noting original about this album to be honest, but the band has managed to come up with a bunch of really strong, catchy and well aranged songs and in the end that's the one thing that really matters. 'Oath Of The Storm' is blessed with an excellent production as well, delivred by Christian Donaldson (Cryptopsy, The Agonist, Beyond Creation). Whether your prefer melodic death metal, folk metal, symphonic black metal or even power metal chances are good that this album will appeal to you.
