A cult offering - as so many are - that brings to mind the oaken thrashing of Britain's Sabbat, fronted by warrior banshee screams and a few Slayeresque thrashings, this is very much metal from the rock days of yore. I know little about these guys but I know a cool track when I hear it and 'Knights Of The Old Bridge' is a forgotten epic metal classic, drenched in atmosphere, shaved by grating riffs that bring to mind old Darkthrone, and some doom-tinged melody. Cool stuff, but a majority of metalheads back in the '80s would've probably missed this sort of stuff unless they got to the import racks of great shops such as Shades. 'Eternal War' and the likes are killer cuts, perfect for an evening in the dark.Tuesday 17 April 2012
