It's a production with a very own idea of how it should vibrate through your speakers. The sound centers more on the performance of the riffs and gives it a extra kick through the deep heavyness of the drums.
The drums accompany close to the guitars. Vocals are set to dominate the sound. It would have been great to push the voice a bit more to the background in the mix but sure purists will prefer it to be like this.
The album starts with "Ravenoir". A typical rough riding riff thrasher but one with some fine notes. The ending holds some keyboard-notes that surprised me to hear. Well done!
Full speed riffs are coming your way on the second offer, the title track of the record. It's boldly presented with a bright chorus giving a push. You can feel the massiveness of the track in every second.
"In The Sign of the Horns" continues this bold attempt but puts the guitars a bit back into the background and set's the vocals to the very front.
it's followed by a surprise track. "From The Shadows of the Dead" is a laid back, slower instrumental intermission spreading lots of dark and deadly atmosphere. It's a welcomed way of taking a break from the riff-fest going on.
"Dark Vision" shows the ability of Ravenoir to put out pressure-filled songs in a midtempo pattern.
It's a typical death metal record mixed up with fine thrash elements. I think traditional metal people will love this. Listen to the song "Hellfire icon" below and you'll get a idea of it.
The album is available through Gothoom Shop as jewel case CD, USB stick and in a CD & Shirt bundle.
