Hin Onde/Songs Of Battle/Aftermath Records/2000 CD Review


  Hin  Onde  where  a  band  from  Finland  that  played  a  very  atmospheric  form  of  viking/black  metal  with  a  melodic  edge  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2000  album  "Songs  of  Battle"  which  was  released  by  Aftermath  Music.

  Drums  range  from  slow  to  mid  paced  drumming  with  not  much  in  the  way  of  fast  playing  or  blast  beats  along  with  some  percussion  playing,  while  the  synths  bring  a  very  epic,  pagan,  folk  and  atmospheric  sound  to  the  music,  as  for  the  bass  playing  it  has  a  very   and  powerful  sound  with  heavy  riffs  that  dominate  throughout  the  recording

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow to  mid  paced  viking/black  metal  riffs  that  utilize  a  great  amount  of  melody  in  the  riffing,  while  the  lead  guitars  are  very  melodic  sounding  viking  metal  guitar  solos  and  leads.

  Vocals  are  mostly  high  pitched  viking/black  metal  screams  along  with  some  deep  death  metal  growls  and  a  great  amount  of  clean  singing,  while  the  lyrics  cover  Norse  and  Finnish  Paganism,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  strong,  powerful,  heavy  and  professional  sound  where  you  can  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on  this  recording.

  In  my  opinion  Hin  Onde  are  a  very  great  sounding  atmospheric  viking/black  metal  band  with  a  melodic  and  folk  music  edge  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  style  of  music,  you  should  check  out  this  recording.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "The  Rune-Singer's  Path"  "Burning  The  Lake  Alue"  "Fimbulwinter"  and  "Paganheart".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
