THE BEAST

Idolatrous - Sorrow on Midgard - Reviewed By cultmetalflix ! Check it out here at this link: https://cultmetalflix.wordpress.com/2023/05/03/introducing-23-with-a-thunderous-roar-part-three/

Rather than tackle the Melo Death Viking arena utilizing an assumed style, or much in the same way another well known Swedish act within the same genre (cof* Amon Amarth) does it, Idolatrous have instead chosen to contemplate going about it another way. How, you might ask. Well, by including an excellently crafted symphonic foundation. And the album sports atmosphere throughout, and… (wait for it) also plenty of melody. In fact if there were ever a melding of Dethlok and Amon Amarth (with a symphonic background) this might be what it sounded like. So, to clear things up. If you want another act who aren’t too different than one you’re already used to, and fancy heavy synths in the equation. This is most probably where you should turn.
All in all, and surprisingly, this is not at all shabby. Not altogether mold-breaking, but it survives the replayability test. And offers most likely an act, for those Stateside, who are a great deal more affordable and accessible on the live setting front.

Short Bio: Battle-influenced aggressive melodic death-metallers, IDOLATROUS, were conjured under the grey skies of Portland, Oregon. Take a closer look into the heart of IDOLATROUS, and you’ll find yourself confronted by 1000 enemies. Revenge, war, betrayal, sacrifice, sorrow, and strength are the roots that bind this faction of seers.  Imagined Norse atmospheres set the backdrop to this modern exposition of technical and melodic storytelling. IDOLATROUS weave tapestries of strife, and deliver harbingers of woeful bloodshed at the feet of false idols.”
