One could say “it sounds like Summoning, so it’s stupid” as much as one could say “it sounds like Summoning, so that’s great”. How about getting started about legions of bm bands imitating Darkthrone’s “Transilvanian Hunger”? They all sound the same and to some extent a bit different from one another. You can mimick a style, but you can never really mimick a band (unless you’re a dedicated tribute band of course).
Both bands have been around for quite a long time (well before 2000), so it's not like Elffor is a new band that has started just mimicking summoning. Also, Elffor has different styles among his albums. Ror example, Malkhedant sounds more like old school black metal while Dra Sad is dark ambient. In any case, being summoning such a impressive band, if a band tries to copy summoning and succeeds, even if they are not as good, it's still quite a feat.
You're entitled to have that opinion, Antoine Le Bellec. Nonetheless, Elffor's been around since the tail-end of 1995 and Summoning since 1993 -- and both bands have their similarities and a surprisingly vast number of differences. Whereas Summoning's early work was inspired by Abigor, they transitioned as a duo from Minas Morgul onward as the legendary Tolkien-driven atmospheric mass of cinematic metal that we know them as today; however, pertaining to Elffor, the first several albums from Eol were inspired in part by the works of Mortiis Era 1, Summoning's third, fourth and fifth albums and even shades of Burzum's ambient works in Daudi Baldrs and its successor, all the while leading to his inevitable transformation into a more refined and more atmospheric act than at any other point previously in Elffor's existence -- thus leading to the last four Elffor full-lengths being inspired heavily by classical music, battle scenes, and a Basque counterpart to similar acts such as Dimmu Borgir, Septicflesh and even Ozzy Osborne. And even with that, Eol's Elffor project has evolved and matured in such a way in the last three years alone that one could regard his accelerated full-length release scheduling as being perhaps five of the greatest opuses of his career as Protector and Silenius's last two Summoning full-length releases and their built-in EP counterparts were among the greatest compositions of their respective careers as the mythical musical duo of magic of which we know to be Summoning.
The first song reminds me Summoning. Very interesting album. I press like ;).

Summoning
Cover ähnelt Graveland Thousand Swords ansonsten Summoning Satyricon und wie gesagt Graveland aber genial Respekt 🤘🤘🍻🍻🤘🤘
Ya, so here comes the Summoning style ...
so much ulver, satyricon, summoning and even burzum here :)
Ok , and ?
Trochę jak wczesny Summoning :-)
Dokładnie!!!!!!!
Sorry to tell that but obviously it sounds like a cheap ersatz of Summoning...lack of identity...
They are in the same genre, sure, but this is not a rip-off. IMO this is far better than the last two Summoning records.
