What we have here is one of the finest packaged albums, artistically, musically, and production-wise, that I have ever received. Beautiful and powerful in every aspect of both words, it is hard to imagine Pagan Metal being much better than what Halgadom has made it with the help of their mother label. And to make it all the better, the band doesn't give in to mainstream ideas and theories on the music market; they sing, speak, and write completely in their mother tongue. There are not many bands out there willing to do this whom have the ability to speak English. You can always seem to tell when a band, collectively, puts their entire hearts and souls into a release. Sturmwoge is certainly such a release, and honestly, I couldn't see the band doing it any other way after experiencing their last two releases through Sonnenkreuz. Unfortunately I was unable to catch their split with Frostkrieg, but I will find a way to pick it up one day soon. Musically, Halgadom is slightly different than most pagan/folk bands to be found out in that particular subgenre of today. I say this because there is a very noticable lacking of the everpresent chanted clean vocals that are representative of this style. While there are very few moments of clean vocals to be found, this is almost always more of a war-like sound. In fact, though the band themselves are not (as far as I know) associated in any way with the R.A.C. scene, a great deal of the clean vocals resemble this raspy style. The harsh vocals are also catchy in their bombastic nature but at the same time they have a definite sinister side, and also include death vocals with the blackened ones which is quite another rarity in this style of music. It should also be known that the band has had diffeing styles through their previous albums. This album, Sturmwoge, is their first exclusively-metal album. The band is also closely related with the Neofolk scene. For you Pagan metalheads out there, this is a good place to continue adding to your collection. Sturmwoge is absolutely one of my favorite releases of last year and I anticipate the next album with much anxiousness. If you're looking for more of those acoustics that you've become accustomed to from this band though, this probably wouldn't be the place to find them though they are present in a somewhat less magnitude than previous releases. This is one to support, current and past.
