Stormkeep - The Serpent's Stone (Patreon Request) [Reaction/Review]

[@blazejecar]

the whole album is basically a black metal wintersun. One of the best discs I've heard in a while

[@Uaaas-22]

have you listend to mistur-in memoriam?

[@juhosuomi2551]

You missed so much if you didn't listen to this record last year when it dropped! Check out the whole album

[@Aleah81]

Exactly. Was going to say the same...

[@Freddespelarspel]

This song comes from one of the best albums from 2021, for me atleast and I see that many agreed on that here on the comments

[@cenotaphobscure]

I knew you guys would enjoy this one, was looking forward to your reaction as soon as I knew you'd picked it as one of the March Patreon requests. Stormkeep really channel the essence of 90s Norwegian and Swedish symphonic/melodic black metal with an epic vibe that's really unsurpassed when it comes to newer bands doing this style of music. For a band from Denver, Colorado it's crazy that they can nail the sound as well as they do. I definitely urge you to listen to the full record, Tales of Othertime is one of the best metal releases of 2021 and I'm sure you'll dig it if you enjoyed this track. Some of the members of Stormkeep also play in Blood Incantation (who you reacted to way back in 2020 as a Patreon request) and the atmospheric black/folk metal band Wayfarer (who are a bit similar to Untamed Land in mixing black metal with influences from Americana/country music and Spaghetti Western soundtracks)

[@mordazflames4044]

I am so happy that you guys were wrong hahahahahhahahah.....this was one of my favourite releases last year. Excellent folks, great music.

My 2021 AOTY. So good if you like Wintersun, Emperor, Xanthochroid, Summoning, and Dissection.

[@shanegriffin8888]

I came here for the metal. I stayed for the ball-talk.

Uncrowned 2021's Best album. You need to listen more of this masterpiece.

[@metvelle]

I know you have done some Sonata Arctica reviews in the past Jani Liimatainen just released a single with Tony Kakko singing and it brings back old school SA vibes for me because I thought they couldn't stand each other

[@druid187]

if you want to hear the epitome of epic you guys should give moonsorrow a listen... a song called Jumalten Kaupunki.... guarantee you it's one of the best epic songs you will ever hear.

[@cenotaphobscure]

They've done some Moonsorrow tracks before, they're well acquainted with them.

[@saghistick]

For me it definitely has a bit of a wintersunny taste (eternal darkness) and it is not a bad thing at all. Yeah Guys, kind of a heavy black power... hybrid... long story short if you're too lazy, this song grabs god's balls for you. Thanks Pedro!

[@petradirect418]

The musicians are very very good❗️

[@thomassibley9475]

Check out Morgal Blade if you want to hear a band merge heavy metal/Black metal.

You guys should check out Bal'Sagoth if you want more Blackened Power Metal.

[@druid187]

hells yes! one of my favorites in the epic symphonic powerish blackened metal! surprised you guys haven't checked them out yet.... check out the song Draconis Albionensis by them.

[@innate7260]

Thank you thank you bois,,"the serpents stone" this track is not of this world,,BLACK MAGIC RECKONING!!!!🤟🤟 its black melodic dungeon metal fellas, "tales of othertime" is a brilliant album

[@seantalbot6]

Amazing album

[@MB54321]

Wow. New Norther with Vesania/Lux Occulta mix-up inbound!

[@cenotaphobscure]

I don't really hear any of those bands here tbh. Stormkeep's sound is closer to mid-90s Norwegian and Swedish symphonic/melodic black metal. They sound like a mix of bands like early Dimmu Borgir, Old Man's Child, Emperor, Limbonic Art, Obtained Enslavement, Windir, Borknagar, Dissection, Sacramentum and Dawn to me. There's also a bit of influence from epic/atmospheric black metal like Summoning and more power metal-esque bands like Bal-Sagoth as well. In any case, Stormkeep are amazing regardless of who they're reminiscent of.

[@emootikoah8156]

@@cenotaphobscure completely agree

[@emootikoah8156]

Epic Black Metal is a thing, dw! Summoning and Caladan Brood being prime examples
