Helvellyn "Woods of the Forgotten" CD

Great black metal should take you places. It should have that right mix of riffs, screams and reverb to stir the imagination beyond the immediate thought of “gee this is really extreme.” Sometimes the most reliably imaginative black metal is the kind that’s stripped to its most basic elements. And it’s even better if the riffs steer toward the melodic and mournful end of the spectrum. Britain’s Helvellyn is one band that specializes in this masterful simplicity.
