Icestorm, the Catalan warrior clan founded in 2006, culminate their incessant evolution with The Northern Crusades, a fourth concept album that places them as great masters of melodic death metal with an epic-historical theme.
As the name suggests, The Northern Crusades focuses on the crusades in Northern Europe, a breeding ground for aggression, heroism, and battle chants. Recorded by Oscar David at Axtudio and mastered by Tony Lindgren from Fascination Street Studios, Sweden, Icestorm’s new album has been impeccably finished off with a stunning cover and artwork by Piotr Arendzikowski.
Through their acquired experience and a wide range of influences, encompassing bands such as Blind Guardian, Amon Amarth, Bolt Thrower, Turisas, Windir, and even Lamb Of God, Icestorm manage to thrill while still riding towards war. With members like Jaume Roca, guitarist of Siroll!, or Marc Storm, the imposing vocalist of Drakum, we expected nothing less.
Martyrdom on ice. Paganism or the cross. The time has come to join the ranks of Icestorm. Take up your sword and face your destiny.
[SPA] Icestorm, el clan guerrero catalán fundado en 2006, culmina su incesante evolución con The Northern Crusades, un cuarto álbum conceptual que los coloca como grandes dominadores del death metal melódico con temática épico-histórica.
Como su propio nombre indica, The Northern Crusades se centra en las cruzadas acaecidas en el norte europeo, siendo éste un terreno abonado para la agresividad, el heroísmo y los cantos de batalla. Grabado por Oscar David en Axtudio y contando para el master con todo un Tony Lindgren desde Fascination Street Studios, Suecia, el nuevo disco de Icestorm ha sido rematado de manera impecable por una impresionante portada y artwork de Piotr Arendzikowski.
A través de la veteranía adquirida y un abanico de influencias amplio, que abarca grupos como Blind Guardian, Amon Amarth, Bolt Thrower, Turisas, Windir e incluso Lamb Of God, Icestorm consiguen emocionar sin dejar de cabalgar hacia la guerra. Con miembros como Jaume Roca, guitarrista de Siroll!, o Marc Storm, el imponente vocalista de Drakum, no esperábamos menos.
Martirio en el hielo. Paganismo o cruz. Ha llegado la hora de unirse a las filas de Icestorm. Empuña la espada y afronta tu destino.
