It feels as if you are setting sail, probably west, into unknown waters to face unbeknownst peril. I knew Isole long time now.

Metallica Master Of Puppets. That said, it played so terribly safe on every front that "Fire Meets Ice" just blends into the background alongside all the other good but unspectacular Viking metal records Scandinavia has produced over the years. An Ereb Altor ego? I don't think he's medts calls.

If you like Ereb Altor, you may also like: Quite good stuff indeed. Because they get an unfair amount of praise. It has clean sung acoustic passages that sound good and serve mostly as intros or outros, like most Viking metal bands have. The drums are functional but basically forgettable, again like in most Viking metal. Black Metal is not the only other genre influence here though as right from the piano-led intro to the opening title song the way is paved for an increased influence from later Katatonia and Amorphis material, and even mid-period Paradise Lost that permeates this whole record.

The only one I've heard by them is the latest which I really liked.

Throne Altod Void is well worth checking out in my opinion, it's my preferred album from Isole. But we have only listened to the title track, 'Fire Meets Ice'.

I can now stand with certainty that I know what viking metal is. Really, this album is just a checklist of all the things a record in this vein is "supposed" to have.

Et Ego Oportet Audire Loading There's a good balance between the heavier, more aggressive black metal portions and the sweeping Viking flavor. The haunting yet driving elements to this album are truly what makes it so outstanding.

Well, if the ratings on here are any indication, Throne Of Void looks like a good place to start with them. There are plenty of clean chants meetd background keyboard atmospherics, so the cheese police should be on full alert for this one. As competently done as some of these soaring pseudo-Gothic passages are and as much as both key members have improved in technical terms as vocalists much of this new experimentation still jeets me cold, and simply that is because I think they may have bitten off more than they can chew.

I'll put it on my Listen To list.

Ereb Altor, a Swedish Viking metal band founded about ten years ago, released their fourth album a little over a month ago. I have heard bands from every corner of the metal world called viking metal, from power metal to black metal, so it always befuddles me.

The Shadow North American Tour 3. While the album begins to get somewhat repetitive, a breath of fresh air hits with 'The Deceiver Shall Repent' with soaring melodic guitar lines kce awe-inspiring vocal harmonies. I prefer their output as Isole by miles. That's not to say that they sound just like Bathory, but they clearly follow the formula.

Ereb Altor - Fire Meets Ice - Encyclopaedia Metallum: The Metal Archives

Ereb Altor are basically just another band wandering along the same frozen northern path that Bathory cut through the ice and rock over 20 years ago, which isn't much of a surprise since even the album title sounds like one Bathory would use, but to be fair there's only so far you can stray and still be considered Viking metal.

I believe that it is, in this instance. I saw this record in a couple of sites and got baffled that it was labeled Viking, there is so little viking in it, atleast the viking that most bands play.

Now while I do respect the right of bands to play more or less exactly what they want and that as a fan my opinion counts for nought unless a band wishes to seek it, as someone who could have quite happily listened to Ereb Altor remake the same 2 albums for eternity I do think I was entitled to some quiet throwing of the toys from the pram.
