Blut und Ehre is a cool little tape by Winterkriege from Russia, released in 2010 by Heathen Nation. I couldn't find much information on Winterkriege; no entries on Metal Archives or Discogs and I couldn't find any website for Heathen Nation either. Anyways, this is a must for fans of bands like Eisenwinter and Kristallnacht - extremely low fidelity, sloppy perfomance and heavy on epic synthwork. This is one of those rare examples where the extremely crude sound really adds something to the music, creating a somewhat distant and ancient feeling. It's also rare to see a band utilizing synth in a tasteful manner and actually creating atmosphere instead of overusing it to the point of embarrassment. Personally I love this kind of epic sub-basement black metal because of it's unique musical expression, even though it hasn't got many musical qualities in the traditional sense. It's all about atmosphere and passion here.
nice ep. thank you!
