Review: Sculpted from raw and antagonistic power chord diatribes, these songs create darkened atmosphere with elemental battle hymns reminiscent of post-Renaissance classical music. Part of a fringe changing the genre, Graveland force the listener to endure violence under an intensifying swell of surging and diving melodies in harmonious conflict, evoking destruction and its opposite in a grandeur of combat. Bellicose and symbolic anthems work from the simplest war riffs to twisted and intricate harmonies. Searingly distorted vocals and the offbeat reversed drumming of Capricornus escort the development of themes from a melodic concept. Feral blast riffs and perfected, four-note melodies resonate. Waltzlike rhythm in epic journeys of sound opens imagination to an atmosphere of nothingness.
