STORMKEEP Tales of Othertime Album Review | BangerTV

[@jlopez47]

Of all of the bangertv team members, Sarah has the best taste in metal.

[@billcowan5539]

I am a huge Dissection fan and this band grabbed me right away, I love this new album 🤘🤘🔥

[@St3C0n]

Dissection is

[@supremelordoftheuniverse5449]

I hear some Dying Sun (Yyrkoon) vibes too

[@terrydelport5720]

Dissection wintersun lovechild, amazing album

[@XhungryandhauntedX]

This review doesn't even mention Jake Rogers, a.k.a Shield Anvil, and is still full of high praise. That alone should tell you how incredible this album is.

[@jaredarchon7159]

This record is amazing, easy 4.5/5 and one of my favorites of the year! Nice to see you on the channel again Sarah :)

[@mikeb4858]

Excellent review! Sarah usually finds the best stuff. The Good: convincingly gushes about the music for almost 6 minutes The Bad: "Fuck you if you're a NSBM edgelord" This why Sarah rules.

[@dwais303]

Denver absolutely crushing metal in the last couple years: stormkeep, KHEMMIS, blood incantation, black curse, wayfarer, spectral voice

[@ceilingsintheireyes6288]

I only just listened to this the other day and I’ve already listened to it about 5 or 6 times. Absolutely phenomenal. It would have been in my top few albums of the year last year if I’d listened to it earlier. I’m now desperate to get my hands on the vinyl when the repress comes out!

[@CorpusCallosotomy]

Honestly, it's pretty rare that black metal appeals to me, but Stormkeep definitely does it for me. Glad you told me about them, this album's great!

[@russell2890]

Check out Wode - Burn in many Mirrors. Blayne actually reviewed it. Edit: Belay that. That album and this one sounds nothing alike

[@DewtehDew]

I agree with Russ, check out Wode - Burn in many mirrors. Also, if you like trash, there’s a few great blackened trash bands. That’s how I’m getting into black metal. Wraith - undo the chains Bewitcher - cursed by thy kingdom Just to name a couple.

[@CorpusCallosotomy]

@@DewtehDew I did pick up that Wode album earlier this year, and you're right it's killer. I'm also a big blackened thrash guy, I actually just saw Bewitcher and Wraith this past month when they came through Chicago, I love them both.

[@elliswoolley5317]

Great to see you back Sarah and thanks for bringing this album to my attention. Not sure how it had passed me by. LOVE the Windir (RIP) elements, surprised no mention of Dawn in any of the comments. More than a touch of their classic 'Slaughtersun'.

[@addersforkaustria]

I don't know, but I think Sarah has slowly but steadily become my favourite Banger-reviewer. Thanks for the joy Sarah and good luck in Finland!

[@Homm3dude88]

Another great black metal album released recently is the new Dauþuz. Both of these records could honestly be my top 5 BM albums of the year, and they're both released within the same week and they're both, of course, amazing!

[@vladimirurss]

Oh thank you so much Sarah for the discovery. I'm now obsessed with that album. Best BM album of the year next to the new Panopticon and Mare Cognitum releases.

[@VIGLounge]

So glad Stormkeep got some love. Fantastic, out of nowhere record!

[@cons.records]

Album closer literally blew my face off, easily my favourite track on this release. Such a cool record.

[@afinecupofcoffee8476]

Really digging this. Is it wrong to say some bits/tracks give me Children of Bodom vibes with the keyboard?

[@rhyslewis4492]

Good choice and review! Hadn’t heard of this one until saw a description when it was coming it out and glad I listened to it really impressed with these guys 🤘🏻

[@KevinOrtega1980]

I discovered this band on KZbin over the weekend and I have to say this is wonderful! Stormkeep keeps the old school alive

[@julianhennig3579]

Thank you for being back. I really appreciate your reviews and shout outs to bands I never heard of!

[@cowmark67]

This sounds really good. I've been interested in checking this album out since it showed up in my recommendations from the Black Metal Promotion KZbin channel. Probably won't listen to it until after the year is over since I don't want to go through the headache of changing around my best albums of the year list like I had to when I recently listened to the Converge & Chelsea Wolfe, Turnstile, and Billie Eilish albums.

[@wheelsofmercury]

Awesome eclectic taste, my good sir!

[@cowmark67]

@@wheelsofmercury Thank You. You want to talk eclectic, my three favorite albums of the year are Vadak by Thy Catafalque, Eternal Blue by Spiritbox, and Screen Violence by CHVRCHES.

[@jonhumphreys7498]

Congrats on your move! Great review! I need to get more familiar with this record.

[@white0ne1]

...a magick review of an album I literally just found this evening and also found initially moving, also regards from I in Nokia, Finland.

[@LithiumJack]

Fantastic record, and given the lineup, it's easy to see why. Probably my joint favourite album of the year (along with IOTUNN's "Across All Worlds"). Really enjoy what they've done within the black metal format. It's epic, fantastical, even fun and catchy without straying too far into the realm of cheesiness. A WIZARD! WISE AND POWERFUL!

[@mattlittke5233]

I've awaited this album since I first discovered their EP as well. Not disappointed whatsoever.

[@RupertCoybs]

Comforting and anthemic is right on the money. Good review. I really like this album because it reminds me of some of those older BM albums but adds its own modern edge. And it's just such good fun. Look forward to the next one.

[@TuneL0wDieSl0w]

Saw this review, stopped it, went and listened to the whole record and holy fuck. Ill need to listen to this again because the greatness that was just thrown on me was too much to comprehend with one listen. Just became one of my favorite black metal records/bands🤘🏻

[@doomfable3378]

Congrats on the move. Glad to see you back doing reviews again.

[@joesantiago9062]

listening to this record after watching the best of 2021 video, it's fantastic!!

[@danielknee4469]

was waiting for Sarah to weigh in on this one! I also bloody love this album!

[@panjin79]

When you gush over an album, I open my wallet. Great review and congrats on the move!

[@huskerdevil24]

Thanks for turning me on to this! Fucking EPIC! 🤘🏻

[@fiercedeitymetal]

Just falling in love with this band now - so good 🤙

[@MysticMindAnalysis]

Good to see you again, Sarah! Thanks for recommending me some more Doom Metal albums. What record label would you recommend is best to find Epic Doom bands? I struggle to find many these days.

[@danteruivo]

My favorite BM release of 2021. Hits all the right spots

[@necrojunkie1387]

This album is so EPIC!!! I have been blasting this almost every day since it released, just so awesome. Love this review. Thanks so much for reviewing this Sarah!

[@KevinOrtega1980]

Yes this is very epic! I enjoy it and Galdrum as well

[@lucst-clair9564]

I was never into black metal, but I gotta say that this is fucking phenomenal, you nailed it Sarah! Thank you for the awesome review!

[@goregrind1]

Pause at 8:24, reduce playback speed to lowest setting, watch for a few seconds. Trust me, just do it.

[@alanl6729]

This is everything I love. Wanted to get it on physical but the shipping would kill me and I live in Europe, will keep my eyes peeled for this.

[@jamesgwarrior1981]

Hey awesome Sarah and this album, truly wondered of its content and quality. I love that new Spectral Wound. One of my favorites of the year, and would love to know your thoughts on Khemmis.

[@gwts1171]

This is a fun album, for sure. I was wondering of you would be reviewing it. Also, If you guys need someone to do gardening or polish your music awards or whatever I'm available. :) I'd love to get back to Finland (and, even more so, out of the U.S.) some day. Thanks for the video!

[@supremelordoftheuniverse5449]

Welcome to Scandinavia! The album is AMAZING.

[@bigpiper2103]

This album is fantastic. Will be buying a physical copy ASAP.

[@stevencuevas3563]

Sounds phenomenal + great review glad yr back Tnx

[@billcowan5539]

Welcome back Sarah, I love the review 🔥👍👍

[@natecowan6913]

Can’t believe I missed this one. Damn. It’s a classic.

[@dustintbrproblems]

Great review, Sarah. I had high expectations for this album, and it totally exceeded them.

[@TrevorGintheplace2Be]

Sarah, great review, excited the check it out. Huge anthems the the welkin at dusk fan over here…. When are we gonna get your take on that ripping new Unto Others release? Thanks!

[@MrLando0]

Cool, your back, I read in the comments that you left Banger. I'm liking this new Stormkeep.

[@justynfogarty6209]

This album came out of nowhere and its a certified banger

[@laertesdd]

Sarah, why did you move to Finland, what are you doing there, how long will you stay? Do a vlog on that, please!

[@NME10E]

Great review Sarah! Keep these passionate reviews coming!!!

[@evertking1]

Yes, I'm buying it 💰💰🤑🤑💰💰

[@cobyslines]

im so glad i clicked on this, i had no idea about them and theyre amazing

[@YesMF]

Dammit Sarah, you just made me buy 2 digital albums and a tape (making it 3 digital albums). This album and the shout-outs are amazing.

[@IronPriest82]

She really nailed this recommendation. She had it as her best album of 2021. I bought the album and think she was spot on, great work.

[@ravensoulmetal8466]

Yay Sarah's back. Awesome review, sounds like an interesting album, need to look into this one.

[@stereopath9028]

Great review, how do you mention Norwegian black metal in 90's without mentioning darkthrone though???

[@kasc.9837]

I love your reviews Sarah. Such accurate descriptions of the music. I love your Spectral Wound T too. All hail Canadian BM. Could you review a Forteresse album? My favorite is probably Les Hivers De Notre Époque. Have you heard it? Review. Review. Reviewwwwww!

[@erikberg5363]

I JUST finished listening to the album and really enjoyed it. Love the synth and folk passages to help break it up a bit, they make the BM sections feel more fresh to me. I basically agree with everything you said and I would give it a 4.5/5 as well. Thanks for the great review! 🤘🤘

[@mattfleurant9295]

This sounds like if Emperor remade the LOTR soundtrack.

[@bighissy392]

Welcome back. You are NOT lame. I miss the old days of the Ball and Metal Edge and you’ve got my vote for best thoughtful reviews on this World Wide Web by far. Real passion. Real knowledge. Thank you.

[@86plast]

Greetings to all from Russia! Why is no one talking about the coolest band from Ukraine "Bestial Invasion"? They already have 4 albums, but few people remember her, the material is killer, they play Technical Thrash, and on the extreme album called Divine Comedy: Inferno!A lot of styles are used, I will not spoil it, listen to this brilianl, I assure you you will not be sorry!!!

[@infomatrix7394]

This album showed up in my feed a few days ago. I clicked cuz the artwork was cool and really enjoyed the tunes

[@kevinberstler]

Great review of a great album. Also love seeing Morgul Blade being recommended. But back to the review. You didn’t say anything bad about the album, so I was hoping you’d give it a 5/5. So….? Haha

[@Kriis_Tyann]

Album cd received yesterday. Hi from Belgium.

[@DarkFire515]

Someone gave a black metal EP a bad review because of the *production?* That's vaguely amusing. Great review of a great album!

[@BrianoblivioN85]

I bought the album blindly and it was exactly what I was looking for. Now bring on Morgul Blade!

[@doobiousd5020]

Dude Sarah, this record is already going to be difficult enough to get ahold of! Fingers firmly crossed for a smooth move.

[@metalshek]

This is a fantastic review of one of the best BM releases of the year. I hope you're well, Sarah.

[@thodoris3790]

i m a 90's metalhead.this awesome album reminds me the 90's

[@Shelterovshadows]

I just finished listening to the Nocturnal Wanderer cassette. It’s great.

[@wittvonwitt4403]

Fantastic band great review

[@fullofsmell]

Completely unrelated, but I want that cat tower badly!

[@alexandrosbagkas]

Fuck yeah... The female vocals somewhat remind me of "The Night Masquerade" . Funny thing is I was arguing with a friend about the production and the cover being 'not cold' like Galdrum's. Awesome album though. Welcome to the other side!

[@HeavyArtTalk]

Anybody able to find a CD copy that is good for US sellers? With shipping, getting it from Van records is running close to $40 USD.

[@tbowne05]

I love Sarah's reviews. She turned me onto blind guardian so I trust her.

[@careful...Icarus]

Does the move to a Scandinavian country mean you are now Yngwie's new singer as well as in Smoulder?

[@pyrocore]

Great review! And so much better without all that pointless album flexing. This is exactly how a fantastic review should be done!

[@noogie1]

How'd I miss this, oh yeah I was working 60 hours in November.

[@trevpeeps307]

Haha the bad section made me laugh 😂 😂 😂

[@mrmeyep]

Great review, your good at this.

[@anthonymarano7829]

Enjoy your new chapter in Finland!

[@ronny-2112]

Love Sarah's granny glasses.

[@ThatOneGuy7550]

Stormkeep are so awesome

[@akashicfibers8205]

Ugh! Sarah, you're so gorgeous! Happy for your new digs!

[@PatrickWDunne]

Heard about them from Angry Metal Guy. Good to know they're good!

[@mattdubya1037]

i liked this album but Galdrum was a lot better. more raw and cold like BM should sound yet still plenty epic. Galdrums cover artwork was one of a kind too🖤

[@harryburnett7086]

Question don't you usually usually review power and epic metal

[@Orangeokie7]

AOTY no debate! 🤘🏼🙌🏼

[@TheHive616]

What the hell... A gorgeous, articulate woman with a SPECTRAL WOUND shirt, talking black metal?! Where the hell does that exist? I gotta meet one

[@StarsDie88]

Good call on the Lord of the Rings reference. Album is absolute 🔥

[@supremelordoftheuniverse5449]

Spectral Wound's A Diabolical Thirst and this one were definitely a draw in first place as AOT for 2021.

[@teodororeyna6614]

cool review, I´ll check the record. Raw black metal is also pretty good

[@sethsoderman2731]

Awesome it's Sarah future shows awesome stuff all the time all the different metal all the time

[@Thomas-gv8zl]

Just great now all of us working class fans of bm won't be able to get any CDs/vinyl until the second/third press if they do that 😑

[@CalumJJohnston]

Hey, I'm an edgelord who listens to sketch black metal and I love this album. Good review, I agree that the pacing is one of the strongest points of this record

[@markovitch78]

check some black metal from my country, Portugal, check out some bands, Gaera, Corpus Christii , Decayed , InThyFlesh , Alastor , Filii Nigrantium Infernalium just to name a few

[@archthrone5815]

I bet storm keep`s band members sit around a table saturday night`s and play Dungeons & Dragons

[@davers.garciareyes6141]

Love ya Sarah 😍😍😍

thank you sarah
