Heathen Foray/The Passage/Black Bards Entertainment/2009 CD Review


  Heathen Foray are a band from Austria that plays viking metal with black metal overtones and this is a review of their 2009 album "The Passage" which was released by Black Bards Entertainment.

Drums are mostly mid paced drumming with some fast playing and little to no blast beats, while the bass playing has a powerful with a lot of fast riffing.

Rhythm guitars are mostly mid paced viking metal riffs that also have a lot of classic metal influences and they speed up at times very melodic sounding pagan metal guitar solos, as for the acoustic guitars they have a medieval feel to them

Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams that have a classic death metal edge to them, while the lyrics are written in a mixture of English and German and they cover Norse/German Mythology, Paganism, fantasy and battles, as for the production it sounds very professional and you can hear all of the instruments that are present on this album.

In my opinion Heathen Foray are a very good band that I feel most viking metal fans would enjoy. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Fading Tree" "Winterking" "Dragon's Eyes" and "Ancient Secrets". RECOMMENDED BUY.
