NORTHER

Release Year: 2011
Artist Origin: FIN
Style: dynamic harmonious blackened death metal

the last album before calling it quits demonstrates the well-familiar top-notch songwriting skills and enormous driving spirit, sparkling harmonies, a handful of radio-friendly hooks, ghostly apt keyboard layers and regular outbreaks of ravage guitar soloing, what is quite common for melodic Nothern wave, once started by Children of Bodom, but as soon as it sounds catchy and dynamic, there is nothing to be disappointed about it indeed; last but not least, it was the only album with Aleksi Sihvonen on vocals, replacing Petri Lindroos who departed for Ensiferum; limited German deluxe three panel digipak edition comes with three bonuses, including Swedish rock band Lambretta's Bimbo cover
