EthelTheFrog Holy moly, this album sounds amazing. I seriously cannot believe that anyone could listen to this and continue thinking that using a limiter in the mastering process improves sound. The emotionality is so potent. Finally.

Sergio El mejor disco de Black Metal del 2021.
Una combinación triunfante de magia y fuerza, que da como resultado un álbum PODEROSO. Finlandia debe estar orgullosa. Favorite track: Empowered with Battlespells.

grahamy Great haunted fantasy atmosphere, songs all flow well, and some of the riffs are truly memorable. Also less blatant Vlad Tepes worship than the first album. Solid BM.

WEREWOLF RECORDS is proud to present WARMOON LORD's highly anticipated second album, Battlespells, on CD and vinyl LP formats.

WARMOON LORD is arguably the best-kept secret of the ever-fertile Finnish black metal underground. The band is the sole work of one Lord Vrajitor, a prolific figure in the wider Finnish music underground, but also concurrently the mainman of OLD SORCERY. But whereas that band largely/mostly works within the dungeon synth genre, WARMOON LORD is pure & proud black metal of a most fantastical nature - equally medieval, maybe even more so, but burning with icy-hot passion that so fired the second wave during the mythical 1990s.

And if the band's Burning Banners of the Funereal War proved to be a bolt-from-the-blue statement of strident classicism, then WARMOON LORD's Battlespells follow-up trumps all with its windswept grandeur, martial surge, and orkish execution. Lord Vrajitor here exhibits many of the hallmarks of paradigmatic, turn-of-the-millennium Finnish BM, but more importantly does this second album integrate a whole host of other noble influences - namely, all equally old Isvind, Throne of Ahaz, Swordmaster, and even Ancient - paradoxically resulting in a remarkably fresh recasting of archaic, vintage obsidian. It's simultaneously familiar and foreign, telling tales you might've heard before, but perhaps not quite in this strange, serpentine tongue... Or, simply look at the awe-inspiring cover art and realize that THIS is what black metal is and SHOULD sound like. Not everything goes!

Raise the banners and begin the war funeral march: WARMOON LORD hereby thrust you into their Battlespells!

Masterful use of acoustic passages and synth stuff. This is definitely my favorite black metal-dungeon synth kinda album I've found recently. Each track flows into the next so well, I cannot recommend it enough. Perri
