Frost Bitten Black Metal From The Arctic Circle! Extremely well written Satanic Black Art that paints a desolate soundscape created by the Northern Wind of malice, churches in ruins, frozen rivers where the moonshadows gleam eternally, morbid dwarf trees amongst wastelands of black moss, and pale stars that echo the snowfall... Where the air is drunk with the blood of the ancient battles ...Where the Snows are never gone...
...This is the Cold Northern Soil of Old Wainds.

Review:

Written by Moravian_black_moon [metal-archives]
Old Wainds are slowly making their mark in the recent black metal scene. Everything they have released is superb, and their magic started here with “Religion of Spiritual Violence”, a fresh breathe in the dwindling sea of modern black metal acts.

First off, let me start by saying that every song here is fantastic. The riffs are amazing and well written. One of the coldest albums I’ve heard in a long time, but it has it’s own character to it that isn’t even matched by the band themselves.

One of the numerous things about Old Wainds that I’ve always admired is that the same line-up has released all three of their full-length albums. The drummer Izbor has also been featured on every full-length even though he is listed as a “session” drummer. The drums are a fury of blast beats and mid-tempo beats to back up the riffs.

Hauciem, as he was known during the release of this album (now known as Morok), has a great black metal voice. No echo or reverb like on the old Darkthrone releases, but he definitely has a cold feeling in his voice and the Russian accent is evident. It is evident that this album is not made in Norway, but in the cold northern Russian fields. It wouldn’t be erroneous to say that this music creates a fine image in the listeners head of where it was created. Cold blistering riffs flow through one another in a fashion that I have not seen in any other band I’ve heard.

If this album is repressed in the future, and has a little better distribution the second time around, I don’t see why any black metal fan wouldn’t choose this work of art over the more popular and well-known bands of today. This album is for those who are looking for a breath of fresh air in black metal. It never gets old. True frostbitten and hateful music that will not disappoint anyone. This is truly an amazing band which released a modern classic that people who haven’t heard it should take more notice of. I could not speak of this album in any higher regard!
