In The Land Of Ghosts

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.
