Eisenwolf - Ritual (Tinnitorturous) Review by Steve Thomas-Green Normally, I’d put this review in with the Metal reviews, mainly as it would appeal to fans of bands like Wardruna, early Mor�is and to a lesser degree, Summoning. But Eisenwolf is made up of musicians, normally associated with the EBM and Industrial scene. The trio behind the music are Danish musicians, John R. Mirland, Tommy B-Kuhlmann and Jens B. Petersen and this is a very big departure from their day jobs. Where you decide the place this, is open to interpreta�on. Personally, I think it would fit in well as a soundtrack to Game of Thrones or Vikings and the overall sound is a mix of Mar�al Industrial, Dark Ambient, Neoclassical etc… And from there, I’d then break everything down into two categories. The more tradi�onal song format. Like the proud Viking stance of opener, Ritual. Which definitely lives up to its name, in a Mar�al Industrial kind of way… or the pounding beats of the mesmerizing, Kadavermarch. And then, what I consider to be interludes, atmospheric movements, soundtracks etc… Both sides of the coin are masterfully constructed, but my only complaint about the album is that the two differing styles don’t quite gel. Both do work individually, but something needs a few tweaks to balance it all out. But considering this is the bands debut album, my complaint is very minor in the overall scheme of things. So a very strong opener from a project that I really hope evolves into something special. Despite the band members track record, I think this will definitely appeal more to the Metal crowd that their electronic fanbase… and I look forward to newmaterial with interest… but for now, I’m going to enjoy this whilst I march up a snow covered hill looking for dragons to slay. h�ps://www.facebook.com/EisenwolfOfficial/ h�ps://eisenwolf.bandcamp.com/album/ritual
