Korium "Strážcovia Hradu / Guardians Of The Castle" CD

Limited To 450 Copies in Standard Version.

The brilliant swan song tape from Korium, a once-prolific guitarist from the Slovakian black metal scene. The tape’s title translates to “Guardians of the Castle”, and the original material on the tape is bookended by two epic compositions sharing that same name, the second of which stands out to me as one of finer examples of the many modern, more melodic and depressive reinventions of BBH-ish riff and songcraft. The middle track “Spomienkia” (Reminiscence) is a shorter but equally satisfying song, and the emotive Burzum cover at the end rounds out the tape (and the artist’s career) by paying a fitting homage to an undeniably vivid inspiration of this whole scene. this tape CD repress via War Against Yourself).
