From Bandcamp: Sword-worshipping Heavy Metal traditionalists Writhen Hilt from Germany deliver their debut EP via Sweden’s Jawbreaker Records. Blending the rocking sensibilities of the NWOBHM with Sweden’s catchy hooks and the mystical element of bands such as Warlord, Writhen Hilt shall capture you with their entrancing brand of melodic, all-consuming craftsmanship. Sharp guitars gallop atop unbreakable waves of drumming with some truly unique, spellbinding vocals. Their medieval anthems of metallic fury have that USPM [United States Power Metal] sense of triumph coating every moment. The emotive dynamics take some nuanced doomy touches and give a downtrodden sense of despair to the songs. Glory reigns eternal in the more ethereal passages of the opus. This contrasting and skillfully executed mixture will certainly enthrall you. Packed with grandeur, there is that primal fist-pounding drive, acting as a sonic backbone throughout this record; the wailing chants of a battle cry reverberate in the Heavy Metal splendor. The screaming lead guitars have a captivating quality, which adds some gorgeous soulfulness to the clashing of iron. Thundering bass glows like a fire in a hearth while the steel of mighty riffing and pounding drums keep the songs charging forward. Everything on this record simply screams “epic” from start to finish and it is an adventure you truly must embark upon for yourself.
I'm getting stron Cloven Hoof and Pagan Altar vibes. This is really awesome stuff!
The coverartwork promises a lot. And yesss that's oldschool, true underground and with an ancient spirit. Killer!!💪🏼🤠🤘🏼
