Torrent – Between The Stones [EP]

torrent – between the stones [ep]

Info

Torrent is a rather new band on No Colours Records and is a side-project of both Akhenaten (Judas Iscariot) and Kanwulf (Nargaroth), on these recordings they are sided with drummer Cryptic Winter (Weltmacht). This EP was already released as a mini LP, in 666 copies only, but now a mini CD was put out just recently as well.

It is quite plain to see that the band walks the path of harsh, raw, fast and chaotic blackmetal. In five tracks we get to hear the intention of the band: howling, echoed and repetitive riffs, distorted vocals, quite simple drums. The thing I like most of this release is the diversity, this is not a plain blastfest, so to say, there are enough mid-paced parts as well as real fast passages. Which makes it a quite varied mini album. But, if I had to give my preference, I’d choose the slower parts. Nevertheless, the fast parts are mixed more chaotic and sound therefore a lot more harsh and heavy, if you want a comparison I’d say the Dutch act Perditor for instance. Imagine Darkthrone playing a little faster and more over the top, but yet with the same production. The slower parts lean more to Burzum and maybe old Graveland.

All in all a great blackmetal release, for those who like to hear their blackmetal the old fashioned way, get this! For those who like original and new blackmetal, stay the fuck away from this mayhem…
