Olde Throne's sophomore album _In The Land Of Ghosts_ comes just a
year after their impressive debut _An Gorta Mór_, whereas it dealt
with the Irish Potato Famine, _In The Land Of Ghosts_ gives us as the
title alludes to a series of (Scottish) ghost stories. Not straying
very far from their formula of mid-paced atmospheric blackmetal we get
a well executed album intermingled with some local (read Scottish)
folk elements and instruments, but without losing any of it's
intensity. The guitars are sharp and raw, and vocals are caustic.
There is much here to like and very little to complain about. Great
second album from this New Zealand duo, looking forward to what comes
next.
