WinterheartH - Rape Of Eden - Reviewed By occultblackmetalzine ! Check it out here at this link: http://occultblackmetalzine.blogspot.com/

WinterheartH are a band from St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada that has been featured before in this zine and on this recording plays a melodic mixture of black and thrash metal and this is a review of their self released 2023 album "Rape Of Eden" which will b e released on March 21st.

Clean playing starts off the album along with a brief use of spoken word samples before going into a heavier direction. Elements of thrash metal can also be heard in some of the guitar riffing while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the music more of a raw feeling.

The riffs also add in a great amount of melody while the vocals are mostly black metal screams along with a few death metal growls. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them along with the songs also adding in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.

When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of both modern and old school influences as well a s one song also introducing synths onto the recording. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover plants and how they will destroy the human body and soul.

In my opinion this is another great sounding album from WinterheartH and if you are a fan of melodic black and thrash metal, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Scarlet Love(& A Black Heart)" and "Wormwood". 8 out of 10. - occultblackmetalzine

Short Bio: After regional and international success with their third LP Riverbed Empire, WinterheartH returned to the studio to record their follow up EP Rape of Eden. With the help of professional mentoring from Anabelle Iratni (Veile, Ex-Cradle of Filth) the band now has a much more direct approach to their music. Abandoning some of the longer progressive elements in favor of blasts and rage that will wake the dead. Each song on Rape of Eden reflects on a different plant and how it will destroy the human body and soul. This is relevant to the theme of Ecocentrism, a point of view that focuses on the ecosphere rather than the biosphere. The EP also features WinterheartH’s second released cover which is an instrumental take on the Japanese Folk song Sakura, Sakura. This was chosen due to the fact the Sakura(Cherry Blossom) is an unofficial national plant of Japan that also symbolizes rebirth. While writing and recording Rape of Eden WinterheartH has recruited drummer Nathan Manuel and quickly returned to playing show circuits. This included performing at the 2022 East Coast Music Association’s Loud Showcase in Fredericton, New Brunswick and opening for Quebec Black Metal band Necronomicon. The band is set to perform again at the 2023 ECMA Loud Showcase in Halifax, Nova Scotia and will be opening for New Brunswick’s Diner Drugs shortly after. Rape of Eden shows that although WinterheartH may be legends and veterans in their markets, they show no signs of slowing down in the unforeseeable future.
