RAGNELL
“Rebirth In Darkness”
(Satanath Records)
Battle Helm Rating
The first thing I came to think of when I saw this band’s name was the Swedish waste management company Ragn Sells. Perhaps not the association you might want as a band but that is where my mind wandered. I cannot remember the last time I heard a black metal band from Mexico. I know that there is a vibrant scene that I want to know more about. Listening to this I cannot really pin point any one band that it reminds me of but I do know that I like what I hear. This is not the most brutal black metal out there but it is brutal enough. If I were to label it I’d say it is more on the melodic side. But you don’t have to be brutal to be good. And this is good.
