I
have the honor to review the debut album from Cor Scorpii,
a new band from Norway. "Attergangar" is
the title of their demo which has four tracks and almost twenty
five minutes of pure metal music. The main song writer is
Gaute, who was in Windir too, but now
the band isn't any more. So with more free time Gaute,
finally able to write all the songs in this demo and of course
musically Cor Scorpii is a mixture of Windir
influences but also is a combination of melodic black metal,
with death metal elements and some folk tunes too. The compositions
are well worked with interesting ideas and generally the song
structure is remarkable. So sit back in your seat and be prepared
to follow the music from Cor Scorpii with the aggression
and the melodies to combine perfectly with a dark atmosphere
and a cold sense of Norway. I believe that Cor Scorpii
is a theatrical band and they transfer a lot of feelings and
images through their music and this is the one of the best
things, to travel through the music to foreign countries.
For sure the demo from Cor Scorpii is one of the few
very good debut releases and i am sure that soon or later
the band will find a label to help them to release their debut
album too. Check it out immediately.
