MADNESS OF THE NIGHT
”The Asgarda”
(Massacre)
This Swedish band came as a great surprise to me. At first I didn’t even know that they were Swedish. That just goes to prove how many bands there are in Sweden alone to keep track of. How are you supposed to keep up with them all? If you can imagine an even darker Sisters Of Mercy you got a decent idea where this Swedish lot stand musically. This is darker than dark gothic metal. Forget all about the cheesy vampire movies of recent times and instead concentrate on the classics you get an idea. There is a very haunting feeling to this that almost makes me afraid of the dark. If I close my eyes I can see how this band flies over me like an ominous cloud ready to drown me in sorrow. Anders Ekdahl
