COLD NORTHERN VENGEANCE - "MAELSTROM"

Pagan / Viking metal berserkers COLD NORTHERN VENGEANCE create kaleidoscopic landscapes of majesty and melancholy, storm and shelter. The vision of chieftain Heathen, 'Maelstrom' picks up where 2008's cult classic 'Domination and Servitude' left off: rolling, churning layers of mystifying, hypnotizing tones, all harnessed in a revelatory and Odinistic manner. But here, CNV digs deeper into their pagan roots, plumbing the dark, alluring depths for a resonance rarely found in American metal. Like a communique sent from another, far-distant time, 'Maelstrom' verily becomes its title and transports the listener away from reality and into a dream-like Valhalla both splendorous and sinister.
