Death - Symbolic




NORTHERN WARRIORS#Style: Death Metal
NORTHERN WARRIORS#Origin: USA
NORTHERN WARRIORS#Lyrics: Spiritual, Society
NORTHERN WARRIORS#Year: 1995

Death is widely considered one of the most influential bands in the genre. The band’s debut, "Scream Bloody Gore", has been described as “death metal’s first archetypal document,” and Schuldiner himself as the “father of death metal”. However, Schuldiner dismissed such attributions in an interview with Metal-Rules.com, stating, “I don’t think I should take the credit for this death metal stuff. I’m just a guy from a band, and I think Death is a metal band.”

Burst - Lazarus Bird




NORTHERN WARRIORS#Style: Progressive Metalcore
NORTHERN WARRIORS#Origin: Sweden
NORTHERN WARRIORS#Year: 2008

Rock without age, metal without spikes, progression without beards, melodic without complacency; tastefully experimental, abrasive, atmospheric, harmonious, offering blunt force, warm soundscapes and somber moods. Descriptions and metaphors are in abundance for Bursts surprisingly accessible musical language. Yet somehow, never right on the money.

Scar Symmetry - Dark Matter Dimensions




NORTHERN WARRIORS#Style: Melodic Death Metal
NORTHERN WARRIORS#Origin: Sweden
NORTHERN WARRIORS#Year: 2009

Scar Symmetry is a modern melodic death metal band from Avesta, Sweden formed in 2004. In addition to typical melodic death metal aesthetics (numerous melodies and harmonies in the guitars, growling vocals, etc.), they incorporate symphonic sounds into their music. Therefore their style is often described as “New Melodic Death”. Their lyrics are themed towards mysticism, philosophy, and inner struggles.

Bornholm - March For Glory And Revenge




NORTHERN WARRIORS#Style: Black Metal

Borholm was founded in March 2000 in Hungary by three members: Melkor - drums, Mordran - bass, Astaroth - guitar.
In the summer of 2001 they fired their vocalist Ferenc Olajos, but Vlad (Bok “Vlad” Péter) filled up the vacancy soon. That year they got the opportunity to make their first recordings in a studio. Because of personal and musical differences a month later only two of them stayed in the band: Vlad and Astaroth.

First work!! Friend band!
Translation in comments

Hoy se dirigía a mi Toni, el cantante de esta banda para informarme de que ya tenían listo su primer album. Al fin! Desde NW la relación que hemos mantenido con esta banda ha sido como mínimo de amistosa desde su inicio unos años atras gracias a Toni que es con quien principalmente o exclusivametne he hablado. Conocemos varias bandas incipientes del panorama nacional pero como esta ninguna, por su afan de superacion, su esfuerzo la dedicacion y la busqueda de un sonido propio y no solo ya por su sonido si no por la calidad humana de estos tios, que muchos no le dareis importancia pero yo estoy harto de pavos bordes, infantiles, creidos super darks o "superstars" y undergrounds... entonces cuando te encuentras unos tios como estos se te alegra hasta la cara, gente respetable, madura, trabajadora, humilde y educada, honorable al fin y al cabo. Gente de bien en lo personal y en lo musical gente de esa que falta por el mundo. Una banda con mucho potencial y ganas y madera para desarrollarlo. Northern Warriors apuesta por karlahan.

Antes de subir el disco lo he estado escuchando analíticamente en cuanto al estilo predominan los teclados creando un toque sinfonico en todo el album. Las canciones son muy variopintas entre si, la intro es muy peliculera muy epica, eso que karlahan saben hacer tan bien. Luego hay canciones que combinan casi todas las variantes del metal, lo mas predominante seria quizás un death melódico o por lo menos es en la variante que mas me gustan estos chicos, hay elementos black, toques góticos algún discreto acercamiento al doom, solos power, melodias folk... veo este debut como una declaracion de intenciones que promete personalmente me quedaria con la ultima cancion "Reverie" es la que veo quizá mas uniforme y que tiene mejor encajados los diferentes elementos propios de la banda en general. Pero hay otras canciones con partes muy buenas, y hasta un momento que te parece estar escuchando summoning, ya lo encontrareis si os poneis a ello jeje.

En resumen una presentación grandiosa (destaco que es un disco auto-producido) de una banda que promete mostrando una gran variedad de repertorio y estilos que de saber encajar y definir de la mejor forma posible podríamos estar ante una de las grandes.

A todo esto como puntilla final remarcar que todos los que hayáis oído el ultimo álbum de Equilibrium "Sagas" habeís escuchado a mi colega Toni cantando en la cancion "Blut Im Auge" para mas información visitar su myspace jeje.

The band would like to add that this album has been like a hell to them, because of the long time working on it and all the sacrifices supposed. So the long-awaited album finally is here, hope your enjoying, the long waiting has been worthy!
