| Split split TAPE 2012: Legion Of Wolves /
Wolfshof by Zwaertgevegt
1: Flaming the Capitalist
Church
2: Ashes of the Weak
     
Review: We are wandering
into canine territory on this tape. Legion Of Wolves
opens the tape with okay (N.S.) black metal, that somehow
sounds very familiar and leaves me wonder where I had
heard certain riffs before. Opening track Flaming the
Capitalist Church might not be the most creative
song, but somehow it works. The band’s second track Ashes
of the Weak is weak. The melody is totally steering
away from the rhythm, playing either too fast, early,
slow or late.
Wolfshof
starts with an electronic intro that somehow reminds me
of Dutch 1980s movies – Amsterdamned, Flodder,
etc. This feeling disappears when the guitars come and
black metal takes its place. Wolfshof probably offers the
better half of the tape, although the (vocal) production
is less impressive than that of Legion Of Wolves.
