Pagan Hellfire - The Will of Night

Solid release - 89%

orodoven, December 5th, 2006

Pagan Hellfire is a one man black metal project from Nova Scotia Canada. The music is rather primitive and crude sounding. The songs are well crafted, to the point but not monotonous. These are genuine songs with an evolution and the different riffs mixing well with each other. One of the strong points is that Incarnatus can actually play all of his instruments (his weaker point is maybe the drums at mid - tempo), and it seems that because of this he can actually concentrate on the music.
The atmosphere (always important in black metal) is rather frosty, grim and the vocals (in the typical style) blend well with this atmosphere. They are not too loud, thus not covering the music but still intense and cold. All the pieces blend well together so there are no real standout tracks (though "Isolation" flows nicely).
All in all a very solid, recommended release for fans of more obscure black metal. If you get the vinyl format (limited to 210 copies) there's a nice bonus track.
