The Last With Pagan Blood--RealAudio

---

A mix between Black and Death vocals, without getting too deep or gurgly. Musically there are light shades of In Flames et al, but not as technical and riff-etched. Six Feet Under would be another musical comparison of sorts.
The chugging track "The Last With Pagan Blood" is strong, and other standouts include "North Sea Storm" and the fast movers "Bleed for Ancient Gods" and "Metalwrath."
