Ordalium are coming from Russia and they offer here some combination of Black, Death and Thrash Metal. The band presents this release as their 2nd full-length album, but 26 minutes and six songs is more for a MCD format. So, opening of album is completely in the Black Metal vein, reminding of established modern acts such as Dimmu Borgir or so, but the later song take some changes and incorporates more of a Death Metal approach. All following songs have this duality between Death and Black with lots of old school Thrash Metal in the vein of Sodom, Destruction… It happens that many of today’s artists want to play a crossover between these styles and they just build a song that has a thrash part, death and black one glued together as independent pieces. That’s not good since it feels like you are listening to a few different bands within a single song. Apart from this, the material features some good riffs in each song, but I just can’t get into the music cause of the aforementioned reason. Production is good, no bigger complaints, only perhaps the drum sound should be more ‘live’ and ‘human’, but that’s all.
