Cold, unapologetic, sick, symphonic black metal. Asguard. From Belarus. It is cold and depressing there and that's the very reason why this band is comprised of incredibly talented young musicians that bang the hell out of their instruments. Vicious pummeling and Iron Maiden-esque riffs define this debut metal masterpiece. Think primitive Emperor or Old Mans Child, but with more grit and more guitars, bass and drums. Asguard are poised to run with extreme metal's very elite.
