Winterfylleth – “The Ghost of Heritage” [Album Review]

The Ghost of Heritage is a re-release of Winterfylleth’s debut album which originally came out a few years ago. Besides being remastered, the album also features two new tracks that were not on the original release. Now, as someone who had never heard the album before, I can’t tell original purchasers whether or not a re-purchase is necessary, but I can say to those of you who who haven’t that it is definitly worth buying.

The Ghost of Heritage is a re-release of Winterfylleth’s debut album which originally came out a few years ago.

The band’s songs are based on English history and sound just epic. This isn’t your regular run of the mill “cold” black metal – think bands like October Falls and Eternal Helcaraxe. Those with short attention spans should not go near this album as it’s quite long; however, those who pay attention to the nuances and listen to the whole album, will be rewarded with some high quality black metal.
