Beowolf Productions "Wisdom of Centuries"
12/24/2012
If your a Black Metal fan than you should know about the Ukraine's very own KHORS. These guys formed back in 2004. The band features former members of HATE FOREST, ASTROFAES, TESSARACT & DRUDKH. The name KHORS is the name of the Slavic god of sun and light. "WISDOM OF CENTURIES" is the bands fifth full length to date and their first for CANDLELIGHT RECORDS. The band plays a dreary dark and gloomy style of Black metal
music. This release has a much denser sound to it which comes in partly from the band using many ethnic instruments through out along with the standard instruments. This album also marks the first time the band performs their songs in their native tongue. The music has a very atmospheric full sound with more Folk Metal influences than previous albums.The band has a more clean and improved production over previous releases. Most of their fans will probably dig their older stuff, but I am digging the new direction they are going in with adding more less traditional instruments and more
Folk Metal influences. Four of the tracks present here are instrumentals, while the other four do contain vocals. Fans of more Folk / Black metal will get into this more than fans of their earlier work. I was a fan of their previous stuff, but I think "WISDOM OF CENTURIES" is their best album yet. Hopefully they keep going in this direction and deliver us some more amazing releases like this one!
