Review @ dranoel

27 November 2010
BYFROST perform a mixture of Black and Thrash Metal. From the beginning, they can enthuse with their fulminating and well produced sound. Of course, the music is not really inventive no more than the band’s name, but the impelling rhythms and measure changes right in time are irresistible.

The opening track Horns To The Sky conjures a live atmosphere with its Immortal-vibes and dirty Rock’n’Roll grooves. Afterwards, the musicians throttle the speed during the title track and sound like Abbath’s little brother band.
BYFROST avoid all too irritating experiments and let the monumental grooves speak for themselves. Consequently, the compositions meander in elegant, powerful and melodic style through the auditory canals and find their way to the listener’s heart. Interim, the group appeals to the melodic taste with interspersed guitar solos, but in all the immortal pounding monster groove reigns supreme. During the track Lord Victorious, the troop strides faster without forgetting about hymnal guitar work. The stoic but intense galloping piece Desire features a floating lead, ere one of the compositional highlights named Wings Of The Angel Of Death follows. The multilayer build-up and the slightly changing rhythms take the listener’s interest.
The concluding track Skull Of God also sounds felicitously, because BYFROST manage to integrate an overwhelming acoustic part. Afterwards the intensity rises, ere the composition dies away in calm manner.

In all, the inspiration of BYFROST is very obvious, so that this output lacks of inventiveness, but the songs’ presentation as well as the mighty instrumentation demand respect. That’s the reason why Black Earth finally is sweeping away all considerations concerning missing independence to gleam as pitch-black, mighty colossus with a lot of energy!
