This is a review of an older recording from Italy's Heruka which showed the music going for more of a fantasy themed form of black metal and the ep was self released in 2005 and called "Leggenda".
Water sounds and epic sounding keyboards start off the ep which also mix in with the heavier sections of the songs. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams along with some of the tracks also adding in a small amount of spoken word parts.
When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling. Symphonic touches can also be heard at times along with the tracks also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and clean playing can also be heard briefly. all of the drum beats are also programmed.
On this recording Heruka played a style of black metal that was very epic, atmospheric and keyboard orientated sounding. The production sounds very raw and old school while the lyrics are written in Italian and cover Fantasy themes.
In my opinion this was a very great sounding recording from Heruka and if you are a fan of fantasy themed black metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Heruka: L'incontro" and "Takar: L'engima". 8 out of 10.
