seven years ago, Elvenking briefly lived up to their terrific name, with an insanely addictive hit single called “Pagan Purity”. Stanley Donwood has compared writing for Elvenking’s new album to that on ‘Heathenreel’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. I am not a real Metal music type of person, but i have to admit ‘Heathenreel’ really is amazing. This album is a scorcher!
Pagan Purity is an upbeat song with a constant snare hit. Strong, powerful vocals of Elvenking in The Dweller Of Rhymes are very impressive. The Regality Dance is one of the more up-tempo songs on Heathenreel. I like the idea behind White Willow. Skywards - Well, here we get a bit more meaning. This track is almost perfect, instrumentals and vocals combine awesomely. Elvenking has astounded me with this amazing track. Conjuring Of The 14th is cool song though, very addictive. Lyrics of A Dreadful Strain are precise and evocative. Seasonspeech is the album’s biggest hit, I think.
