Hailing from possibly the most un-black metal place
around, Thunder Bay, Canada, Bloodaxe is a 2-piece project in the vein of old
Emperor, Marduk, Kult Ov Azazel etc. Walls of sinister riffs and snarling
vocals swirl about a blasting snare drum and varied percussion to carry the
tales of violence, hatred, war and death. Aside from the drums,
Norwegian-Canadian and founder of Bloodaxe Nordavinden is responsible for all
the instruments and vocals, which often remind me of Belphegor in both
delivery and tone. Brief instrumentals like "Treskjaereren" are the only
mercy given to you by the band, who then jump right back into the slaughter
with the furore of "Drowning in Mimir's Well", one of many songs steeped in
the rich Scandinavian cultural heritage of Nordavinden. As the band was only
together for 7 months prior to this recording, expect even more destruction
and fierce pride from Bloodaxe on the next album, which is not too far off
according to their interesting website, www.bloodaxe.net A great independent
black metal outfit without the silliness of many of their
counterparts.
