█ Russian epic fantasy melodic black death metallers █
█ Brokdar from Krasnodar released in the end of 2014 █
█ their debut full-length album ôIn Fetters █
█ Glacialô. Brokdar is a new band, formed in 2011 on █
█ the ruins of a few black metal bands. They started █
█ as a melodic death metal band with dark fantasy █
█ themes and black metal elements in their sound. █
█ After a digital single, Brokdar signed to Fono Ltd █
█ and released their debut full-length album on █
█ December 23rd, 2014. █
█ ôIn Fetters Glacialö lasts for almost 42 minutes, █
█ including 8 songs, plus a short intro and outro. █
█ Like most Russian bands, Brokdar have a very good █
█ and professional crystal clear sound. Their music █
█ is mid tempo melodic black death metal with a █
█ quite dark, epic and melancholic atmosphere. They █
█ balance perfectly between the rhythmic brutal █
█ technical nature of death metal and the melodic █
█ melancholic nature of black metal. The band has █
█ very powerful and technical guitars that dominate █
█ their sound. Rhythmic riffs and melodic leads, █
█ often accompanied by epic symphonic synths, create █
█ a very heavy solid musical canvas, which is █
█ completed by brutal screaming vocals, closer to █
█ the death metal style. There are differences in █
█ style between each song; some of them have a █
█ heavier death metal approach, others are clearly █
█ more epic and melodic and some of them reveal more █
█ black metal influences. Most of the time they move █
█ in mid tempo rhythm, with only a few faster █
█ outbreaks and some calmer atmospheric, almost █
█ cinematic passages. All of their lyrics are in █
█ Russian, but itÆs more than obvious they deal with █
█ epic fantasy themes. According to their official █
█ Bandcamp page, ôIn Fetters Glacialö is a concept █
█ album which tells about the harsh lands of the █
█ northern barbarians. █
█ Brokdar is a very promising band and their debut █
█ album is recommended to fans of epic melodic death █
█ metal, especially to those who like the addition █
█ of black metal elements in the mix. ôIn Fetters █
█ Glacialö is released by Fono Ltd in a standard █
█ jewel-case edition CD. It comes with a 12-page █
█ booklet including all the lyrics. There is also a █
█ separate 2-page insert with the cover artwork on █
█ one side and the band line-up on the other (quite █
█ unusual). The artwork by Olga Kolesnikova is █
█ really great, depicting perfectly the dark epic █
█ glacial atmosphere of the album. █
