Elegis
Hail To The Tyrants CD Selfrelease
Elegis is a single band of Polish immigrant Baron who is living in Norway for many years so I could easily call it Polish /Norway project. In fact, guest vocals on this CD are screamed by Kristian Wangberg alas Creep from unknown to me band Efreeti. From my own experience I know that living outside of country of origin blending so many influences and everything is possible but can be dangerously powerful. Hopefully for the music...
Elegis wants to earn recognition and those 3-4 songs are very good way to start the wheels going. I guess this CD has not been recorded in real studio more like homemade and that`s a bug of little synthetic sound of drums and production overall.
Musically, the band pays tribute to early Emperor albums and also has strong identity of its own ideas. Elegis is a dark and atmospheric in Chronicles song, more monumental in Hail to the tyrants and very death metal in Disinherited. Those are my favorites. I absolutely hate Rezim, a closing track, the useless abomination ruining impression of previous songs.
I wonder how this band could sound if pro-recorded tracks have been made for this EP. It`s OK for now but if possibility occurs to record new songs, somehow better, the opportunity should be taken.
