STORTREGN
“Emptiness Fills The Void”
(Non Serviam Records)
I have no idea where this Swiss band picked their name from but in Swedish störtregn is not something you want to be caught in. It is something that happens after the thunder and lightning. You get pretty wet being caught in it. This is the band’s fourth album but the first I get to hear. Musically this is an amalgamation of styles. You get both death metal as well as black metal mixed with more traditional heavy metal. Being on their fourth album this lot are pretty good at what they do. This album is a stonker from the word get go. You get that impressive feeling from the start and it doesn’t let go of you until it ends. This one I like. Anders Ekdahl
