Our Take
Our Take
XIV DARK CENTURIES' latest offering, "Waldvolk," is like taking a trip through a medieval forest on a technicolor unicorn - enchanting, whimsical, and slightly absurd. The German outfit blends traditional folk melodies with metal influences, creating a sound that is as haunting as it is infectious.
From the moment the haunting chants of "Wanderer Through the Night" kick in, you know you're in for a wild ride. The band's use of traditional instruments like the hurdy-gurdy and bagpipes adds an authentic, old-world charm to the music, transporting listeners to a time long forgotten. But don't let the historical references fool you - "Waldvolk" is as modern and cutting-edge as it gets.
Tracks like "Drinking Horn" and "Swords Shall Sing" showcase XIV DARK CENTURIES' versatility, with driving rhythms and fierce vocals that are sure to get even the most stoic of metalheads headbanging. And just when you think you've got them figured out, they throw a curveball with the atmospheric ballad "Frost Night," a beautiful departure from the album's heavier moments.
Overall, "Waldvolk" is a triumph for XIV DARK CENTURIES, showcasing their ability to blend the past and present in a way that is both captivating and innovative. So grab your mead, lace up your boots, and prepare to be transported to a world where the dark ages meet the digital age - it's a journey you won't soon forget.
