These 16 songs are no nonsense, just lots of expected lyrics about the night, darkness, hell, etc. The riffing is tight and even the band has a black metal sound, the guitars have a lot of old school thrashing going on. The vocals are of the Quorthon\/Mille Petrozza variety. This band is fast and tight and all that, but it&#8217;s not about speed per se. The songs have more than speed going. The changes in rhythms in the songs make for an enjoyable listen. Also, this is a band and sounds like one, not some one-man project. It is surprising how much variety they pack in some songs, including some technicality. People who can&#8217;t enough of that old-style thrash riffing should be interested. The recording sound quality is similar to that of a solid demo, which makes the music sound not as full as it should be. Overall, it&#8217;s pretty good, but not awesome metal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is upfront thrashing\/black metal raging in speed, tongue-lashing vocals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-341","reviews","type-reviews","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Harkonin - &quot;Ghanima&quot;
