“Darkest Is The Hour Before Dawn”

Oh what a pleasure it is to get sent a record by a Greek band. I have a special spot in my heart for bands from Greece. There is something to the Greek metal scene that appeals to me on more levels than is healthy. Normah might not be the most well known name on the metal scene but that should change after the release of this EP. There is a groove to this that makes me think of a mix between the best of L7, grunge and the more molten ends of the metal spectra. The guitars totally rip open wounds that are so deep that they bleed profusely. And in between all this they throw in some more somber moments just to torture us some more. This has quickly grown to be this weeks favourite record. I like to be this surprised each week. Anders Ekdahl
