### Wolfchant: A pagan storm

#### 13/06/07 || Euthanatos

This is another viking metal album from my endless viking metal collection, so if you’re not into viking metal, go do something else. Jerk off, look at the stars, kill a kitten, I don’t care.

This is the third Wolfchant album, if I’m not mistaken, and no, I don’t know their previous two. What’s that? You want me to compare this album to the others? You’re saying I’m a half-assed reviewer who doesn’t do research? Well go buy the CDs and send them to me, or hassle their record label. Fuckers.

This is pretty much your straight-forward viking metal. Melodic guitar tunes through and through, rasp, coarse vocals with viking chants here and there. During these vikings chants, we get the good old “raise your glass and sing” rhythm going. Like I said, this is pure, unpretentious viking metal.

“A Pagan Storm” is a good song and the perfect sample of the entire album. Every now and again the band will try something different, like at the beginning of “Midnight Gathering” and also “Feuerbringer”, with a little folk intro, or in “Guardians of the Forest” (you have to love these song names, really) where they speed things up a bit.

At the end of the day, this is pretty boring stuff, though, nothing new being presented here, and not that that’s a bad thing necessarily, but the lack of originality here really does take its toll and as you finish listening the album, it’s frustrating not having anything memorable to mention.

Wolfchant are good at what they do, they’re just not very good at writing exciting songs. So there.

The cover: very evil, tr00 and kvlt. There are wolves (fancy that!!!), snow , frozen mountains and a black metal logo that you can’t make out. Very Norwegian. Except they’re German. Never mind.

5 generic songs out of 10.
