Woodtemple "Feel The Anger Of The Wind" CD

The album begins with an extremely Graveland-inspired synth and percussion intro, which is semi folk-sounding, and uses the same galloping beats (also highly Graveland-related) appearing later in the album. The second track kicks in with a riff strummed in accordance with the galloping drum-sound, and a somewhat depressive nature (highly distorted, low tuned, minor-sounding chords, down-beat rhythms). Quite a bit of downstrokes are used, and this is accented with some harsh crashes. There is little change in this style, apart from a few occasions with double kick and an altered pace. As the album continues, the same guitar style is used throughout. Double kick pops up more often in songs, as do slightly more upbeat synth melodies (sounding triumphant and battle-oriented, and sometimes further depressing the atmosphere). This album is quite minimal and unchanging, less interesting than it could be, but still enjoyable. I recommend it to fans of Graveland's late 90's and more recent albums, and I consider it the best work of Woodtemple.
