When Night Rode Across the North

Haimad have been around since 1994, albeit with a 20 year hiatus. Original member Azradan returned in 1999 with an EP and this year we get the full length. This is more symphonic than what I generally listen to, but it’s very well composed and the riffs are strong and memorable, lots of early Emperor, Dimmu Borgir, Setherial vibes. It’s not quite like time stood still releasing an album recorded in the 1990s but rather as if someone paused time and recorded an album meant for a different era. Needless to say this is of course very nostalgic and it’s hard to disentangle those feelings when listening to this. However I think this is an album I’ll keep coming back to.
