Wolfcross - From The North - Reviewed By occultblackmetalzine ! Check it out here at this link: http://occultblackmetalzine.blogspot.com/

Wolfcross are a band from Sweden that plays an old school form of black metal and this is a review of their 2022 album "From The North" which will be released in November by Grind To Death Records.

A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the music more of a r aw feeling.

Most of the music is also very heavily rooted in the classic Swedish style while the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them along with the vocals also going into more of a deep yet grim direction at times.

The riffs also add in a decent amount of melody along with one song also introducing clean playing onto the recording as well as a later track also adding in a brief use of spoken word samples and elements of thrash and speed metal and as the album progresses a brief use of classical guitars and clear pagan vocals and chants can also be heard and a couple of songs are also very long and epic in length. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Satanism, Occultism, Norse Paganism, Anti Christianity and Death themes.

In my opinion Wolfcross are a very great sounding old school black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "So i Return" "Magna Mater Daemonium" "Svart Speed Metal" and "From The north". 8 out of 10. - occultblackmetalzine

Short Bio: Wolfcross formed in 2015 by Jonas Bergkvist aka J. B. Vorgoth. Having been an active member of the death metal scene with bands like Desolator, Ending Quest and Soliloquium he needed to channel his anti-christianity and Nordic mythology ideas in another form, namely black metal. A demo was quickly written and recorded and released onto the world the same year as he formed the band. In 2019 a compilation album was released on CD with the bands demo material, whereas the 100 copies quickly sold out. Wolfcross has since gone from a solo project to a full line-up of four and a full-length debut has been in the making. After several successful live shows in Sweden the band are eager to release From the North to the world. Wolfcross is pure Swedish black metal forged in the flames of old and new whereas the band has captured the essence of the Swedish sound from the first wave to the present. The band is already booking shows all over Sweden as this Winter will become just a bit darker as Wolfcross sweeps over the nation. New and old fans of black metal will be sure to check this release out.
