Summary: More Norsecore drivel?? Why yes it is!!!
Review: Here we're presented with yet another band who's gotten tons of "hype" for really no reason I can see. WARLOGHE is nothing more than "Nordic" styled black metal with a definete GORGOROTH and BURZUM influence. The production is actually too clear for my liking, and the drums sound like utter shit (imagine someone beating a trash can with a baseball bat!!). The vocals aren't bad, but not good either, and don't elevate this from being boring.
All in all, if for some reason I ever need to play this again it'll be because I have to record it for someone, and even then I'll probably turn the volume down and listen to something better on my other stereo...
