Rev 16:8 - Ashlands (2011)

Artist: Rev 16:8
Album: Ashlands
Year: 2011
Style(s): Traditional
Rating: 3.5/5
Comments: The lastest album from this Swedish band is a brutal slab of well written, traditional sounding black metal. The group takes obvious cues from bands such as Dark Funeral and Marduk. The songs are fast and unrelenting, and with the furiously paced drumming set high in the mix, the album gives off an appropriate air of claustrophobia. Rev 16:8 won't be winning rewards for originality anytime soon, but Ashlands is a solid album that is easily recommendable.
