User Album Review
The majority of the album is made up of instrumental music or instrumental music with wordless vocalizations, often done in harmony by all members of the band. It is perhaps over used, but on every listen of the album, the only word I had that truly summed up what I was hearing was “beautiful.” And as simplified a word as it is, I stand by it, the music is lush, and exquisitely performed, but more than anything it is simply beautiful, traditionally inspired English folk music.
‘The Hallowing of Heirdom’ is assuredly the most unusual and beautiful album of Winterfylleth’s now decade long career. Fans of the traditional folk albums produced by other black metal bands will find a lot to love here, as should fans of folk music in general, and students of English history and literature. It is one of the most beautiful works I’ve heard in recent years and it equals, if not surpasses, anything the band or others like it have done before. This will be played in my home for many years to come.
