Wartödd "Pagan Pride" (Bonustracks) Cassette

This is how Black Metal should be played! Once again this year, I come across a band whose material overwhelms me with its content. These two gentlemen, Leszy and Veles, are probably somebody who got out of Polish scene of the early 90s  and moved to our current reality, and so alive! Sound, structures, message, aesthetics (just look at the cover) - all taken from those years. Wartodd is the sum of the demos and first albums of Graveland, Veles, Fullmoon, Thunderbolt and Infernum. And it is so well played, with such a sense of the subject, passion and understanding that it is just unbelievable. At the time of writing, I had played it several times already. In addition to compositions in the mentioned style, we also get a cover of Graveland's "The Night of Fullmoon". It came out with the same power, climate and expression as the original, but without the keys; still, it does not change anything, it is still up to the point. It is also worth putting emphasis on the ending of the album, because we get a dungeon synth miniature at the final. And now, since I, a dedicated Mortiis fan, say it, there has to be something going on - this short composition could have been performed by Mortiis himself! I did not suspect that anyone in this matter would surprise me, but it happened here.I will say briefly, the subject of black metal album of the year has already been resolved. Wartodd surpassed my favorites in the form of new Czort, Werwolf and Faustian Pact (unfortunately, Warmoon Lord has not recorded a full-length this year) and I don't think anything has a chance to beat it. "Pagan Pride" swept the competition! I recommend this material to everyone, grab it without hesitation!
