![For Death and Glory, to the Gods I Cry](/gfx/1266839.jpg)

Auld Ridge was a new find this year, although this is their fifth
album none of the older ones are available on bandcamp so I've not had
a chance to do any sort of comparisons. Sound is raw and pretty tinny,
most of the time this proceeds at a decent clip with only the
occasional slow down. Songs are quite melodic and memorable, I am not
convinced by the "atmospheric black metal" description on metal
archives, it reminds me more of some medieval black metal I'd get out
of Aorlhac or Ferriterium (albeit with the aforementioned tinny and
raw sound). All in all this was a great find which I've enjoyed every
listen it's gotten. Highly recommended.
