Arnaut Pavle - 2013 demo

This demo hails from France, while admittingly being foreign to most things Finnish, I do enjoy classic 2nd/3rd wave BM and this demo brings you right back to those times. Not to say that is a bad thing, there is plenty of fresh ideas here. Some killer riffs remonisant of the 2nd wave scene, the vocals are classic BM, packed with power yet incredibly audible, drum beat is head nod inducing and incredibly energetic. The production is right where I want it, instruments are audible and nothing is drowned out, yet still retains that divy BM atmosphere. Great for me as ive been on a Darkthrone kick which is unusual for me, glad there is stuff coming out like this getting tired of the Marduk/Watain worship stuff that I seem to come across so often. Not much more to say, full album in 2014 according to their Bandcamp, looking forward to it.
