More than 2.500 kilometres between Vigo, Spain and
Sopron, Hungary. And yet, listening to Mileth, Dalriada
is always there. Clean female vocals, male vocals
reaching from deep grunts to high shrieks. Plenty of
folk instruments, predominantly violin and bouzouki.
Midtempo parts and then pounding double bass. Heavy
enough and yet accessible. Not sure whether Dalriada has
been a big influence on Mileth, but I am sure that fans
of the Hungarian band will also love Mileth.
After 10 years of existence Mileth release their first
full album. And we are lucky enough to be witness of a
new very mature folk metal band yet again. Clearly the
band has made some choices. Along the following lines:
we play folk metal, we use folky instruments, we want to
have and give a good time, we don't limit ourselves to
what already exists.
Focussing on a few songs then. De Bruma e Salitre gives
us some high quality hard rock lines. Keyboards and
overall feel shouts Rainbow 1978. There are worse times
and bands to be compared with. A quite different song is
Ela, Que Camiña Sobre as Raíces do Frío Inferno. Six
minutes of instrumental music, growing on you with every
spin. Absolute winner though is Do yourself a favour.
Listen to this song. Play it loud. No need to listen to
it twice. This song has everything the band has on
offer. It's festive, it's heavy, it contains the entire
variety of vocals the band has at its disposal. In spite
of easy listening melodies, it's hardly mainstream, with
all the shrieks and grunts. One of the best songs I've
heard all year!
Last couple of songs are a little bit of a let-down. An
interlude of a minute and a half, after which you might
expect a last blast of heaviness. Instead the band
concludes with an acoustic song. All well and nice when
you find yourself deep in the forest with a big open
fire, elves and trolls dancing together. In fact the
mood the band aims for is probably achieved in total. I
just can't help thinking a more powerful song would
leave the listener wanting more.
Let's end with a positive. That's not hard. Plenty to
like on this album. Play Petros, Axioma da Terra. If you
don't like this song, there are two options. One is that
you actually don't like folk metal. Two is that there is
something wrong with your ears, in which case you might
want to see a doctor.
