Crimfall - The Writ Of Sword




NORTHERN WARRIORS#Style: Power/Folk/Viking Metal
NORTHERN WARRIORS#
Origin: Finland
NORTHERN WARRIORS#
Lyrics: Ancient Scandinavia, Vikings
NORTHERN WARRIORS#
Year: 2011

Crimfall is a young soul; it came to being on a wildfire season, Autumn 2007 as one man’s vision. Jakke composed a demo of three songs just for himself but he soon noticed that the material was unique, diverse and strong to stand on its own feet in front of wider audiences. What was still needed was some talent to fulfill the forceful yet melancholic music he had composed, someone to bring the stories of songs to life with voice of both beauty and power. In the end Jakke decided to bring two people to finish his line-up, voices with contrast and variance, as Mikko and Helena joined the band. So was the first recording of Crimfall born, “Burning Winds”.

NORTHERN WARRIORS#Style: Melodic Death Metal
NORTHERN WARRIORS#

NORTHERN WARRIORS#
Lyrics: Personal Subjects
NORTHERN WARRIORS#
Year: 2011

Omnium Gatherum is a melodic death metal band founded in Karhula, Finland in 1996. It has many directions and styles, some of them clearly visible while others more unseen. Namely working and keeping it all together under the monicker of melodic life-and-death metal, bastardized by various influences from a whole lot of genres and sub-genres (thrash, black, power, heavy, punk, progressive,neoclassical:especially on a debut album Spirits and August Lights… ), with a lyrical concept not very often seen in the world of metal - that is, academically twisted old school tell-a-tale folk singer attitude with a small amount of mystic poetry hidden somewhere between the lines.

After releasing their debut album, “Wolf” back in 2000, the band toured relentlessly and destroyed the major festivals, gaining them more and more followers and success. In 2002, the album “Black Wings” saw the light of day and songs like “Venom” and “Genocide” quickly became live favourites, and still are to this day.
