Ren Marabou - ‘Prophecy Of The Seer’ - Reviewed By Jenny Tate ! Check it out here at this link: https://jennytate.wordpress.com/2021/08/14/ren-marabou-prophecy-of-the-seer/

Forthcoming new video track, ‘Prophecy Of The Seer’, from Irish soloist Ren Marabou is out on May 1st. Following on from his last release, the ‘Way Finder’ album (March 2021), ‘POTS’ continues with the Viking metal theme. Ren’s live appearances utilise a backing quartet, composed of equally well accomplished musicians. ‘WF’ is out on all main online sites.

Having become known for his energised live shows, Ren is currently composing his 5th album and many more studio videos are in the pipeline. Ren is endorsed by Cassidy Guitars, Skull Strings and Dirtbag USA.

Prophecy Of The Seer – Immediate metallic intro. Lots of freestyle riffage. Imaginative setting. Heavy vocals, with softer backing choruses. Drums rolling smoothly. It’s quite a grungy track, with a loose flow to the structure. A middle eastern flavour to the bridge. Good physical depiction of the group harmony. Chanting style employed, towards the end. It’s actually more grunge than Viking and as such, quite a departure from previous form. Cohesive, smooth delivery, all round. Unexpectedly gentle, tonally and structurally. A well aligned and energised performance, executed with a lighter touch, through which, contemplative themes are conveyed. Less impactful than it could be, but to some extent, the flawless delivery compensates for that. A fairly enigmatic track, adeptly handled.
