Today’s review is of German Black Metal band Servant’s debut album.
This release takes a great inspiration from a myriad different classic Scandinavian Black Metal bands and delivers a dark amalgamation that may only be labelled as your average new Black Metal, but there are also some touches of German Melodic Black Metal in the likes of Dark Fortress or even The Spirit that give some national identity to the full-length, while also adding extra layers of epic atmosphere.
Most tracks have an almost transcendental aura to them that portrays perhaps in a greater way the beauty than the fury of the genre, though all elements are present here. Combining the songs with equally occult interludes and interesting acoustic passages, the band gives the release a good amount of solidity. My personal highlights are “Negate The I” and “Hymn To The Latest Days”.
I recommend this album to fans of Black Metal. My rating is of 8,5/10.
