The
mercian sphere is the second album of
Winterfylleth, band formed in 2007 with the intention of honouring England's
proud ancestral heritage. The coming of this new band on the scene can be
categorised as "English Heritage Black Metal", as they form a deeply conceptual
ensemble, starting from their name ("winter full moon", the first full moon in
October).
Now is The
Mercian Sphere living through the expectations one can have of such a
deep-thinking act?
It is undeniable to say this is a record of pounding black-metal, following all
the recipes developed by pioneers Enslaved and Ulver. The album is musically
precisely worked on, the moods are well-constructed and catchy.
This record is less about originality than it demonstrates ingenuity. From the
first listening it is strong and echoes of a certain depth, but I consider it
will be up to them to decide of their passage from the underground to the skies
of the long lasting classics.
