Veles

NATIONAL SOCIALIST BLACK METAL

Triumph of Pagan Beliefs In the birth of its own style as Graveland were on their earliest demos, Veles appear here as melodic hardcore being merged with the most direct and militaristic black metal possible. No pretense mars the presentation of theme and ideal.

Black Hateful Metal Far into the forest metal ideal and using streams of melody to regulate the surge and flow of battle, Veles make anthems to the darkness in man that are appealing, soft and comforting, like the idea of death after hypothermia takes effect.

Night on the Bare Mountain Melodic black metal with a ceremonial use of dynamic structure introduces the Veles style with the hardcore riffs of the demo wound into black metal sweep-picking power chord anthem. Songs escape introduction slowly and become familiar before in sudden structure changing mood. Instrumental obscurity and a lust for chaos identify this album.
