REVIEW: The Stone - Slovenska Krv Wolfcult Records, 2002
8/10
The Stone - Slovenska Krv - cover art This is a real pagan storm from darkwoods of Serbia. Raw, savage, simple Black metal, full of anger and pride is what’s Slovenska Krv (Slavic blood) all about. Eight songs, eight individual cuts in the face of orthodox Serbian establishment. Eight hymns of pagan Serbian nature and patriotism for uncorrupted leftovers of The Stone homeland. This is second full length album for band and first under name of The Stone; previously they were known as Stone to Flesh. Music is mostly simple guitar riffing, but with good song structure and varying speed and interesting melodies and vocal solutions. Although Slaovenska Krv is about primal eruptions it doesn’t lack nothing in intelligence of composing or song building. Musicians are very experienced which means that all instruments are fitting each other well and are completely in service of general sound. Sound of album is also raw and then it comes to your taste whether you’ll call it adequate or bad. For me, sound should be a little clearer as some guitar ornaments are lost and there’s too much bass in overall, but band definitely wanted it this way. Also, material doesn’t deliver high speed drumming you might expect from this kind of music. Of course, there are a lot of really fast part, but its not record setting. Still, this is not necessary for this material as The Stone said everything they wanted this way and have succeeded to deliver us really good material. Hopefully, The Stone, together with May Result, will open the door for Serbian scene to foreign fans and contribute in integrating this pagan land into Black metal kingdom. Third full length album is due at early 2004.
