This is a review of an earlier album from Germany's Eisregen which showed their early mixture of black and dark metal and the album was originally released in 1998 and called "Krebskoline" which will be re-issued in September by massacre Records and also adds in live songs as bonus tracks.
Rain and thunder sounds start off the album before adding in some air raid sirens on clean playing which also returns on later tracks. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while the heavier sections of the recording bring in the classic dark metal style and both t he keyboards and viola mix in with the heavier sections of the songs.
A great portion of the tracks are also very long and epic in length while blast beats are also added into the faster sections of the album. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, when tremolo picking id added into the faster riffing they also give the recording more of a raw feeling, clean singing is also introduced briefly on the live tracks as well as some growls also being utilized at times.
On this recording Eisregen took black and dark metal and mixed them together as well as adding in other elements which also made their music sound more different and original in the mid 90's. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in German and are a concept album based upon post apocalyptic themes.
In my opinion this was another great sounding album from Eisregen and if you are a fan of mid 90's German black and dark metal, you should check out this re-issue. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Vorabend der Schlacht" "Krebskoline" "Abglanz vom Livht" and "Nachtgeburt". 8 out of 10.
