AVENGER “Bohemian Dark Metal”

AVENGER
“Bohemian Dark Metal”
(Deathgasm Records)
There are so many bands in the World that it is hard to keep track of them all. I’ve been aware of Czech Avenger for some time now but never got round to checking them out. Now that time has come. And I like what I hear. There’s a slight Swedish death/black metal touch to this but mostly it stands very well all on its own. If you like your extreme metal fast paced and with a slight symphonic/epic touch then this has all that. There is a groove to this that adds to the overall impression. There is so much going on in the music to keep it from going stale. I’m reminded of bands like Algaion, perhaps a bit of Norwegian Hades Almighty – not so much in tempo as in atmosphere when I listen to this. All these impressions leave me with a feel-good state of mind. What more can you expect. Anders Ekdahl
