Vallenfyre is a band that has come to be marked. For those who do not yet know them, the sound of this band is different than Paradise Lost (Gregor Mackintosh) and My Dying Bride (Hamish Hamilton Glencross) and yes, a deep mix of death metal, doom and crust and this has infected me in such a way that Vallenfyre has become one of my favorite bands in the last seven years. "Fear Those Who Fear Him" is Vallenfyre's third album and that's really fucking amazing. In the previous records everything was very grim, but in "Fear Those Who Fear Him" it's more intense, and you will hear buzzsaw guitars interspersed with funeral sounds and beautiful melodies, bass polluted, drums of death and guttural abyssal voices, where speed and cadence give rise to chaos, resulting in a powerful black energy. My favorite tracks are "Messiah", "An Apathetic Grave", "Nihilist", "Amongst the Filth", "Kill All Your Masters", "The Merciless Tide", "Dead World Breathes" and "Soldier of Christ". "Fear Those Who Fear Him" is an excellent album and this is another step taken by Vallenfyre, being one of the best records of 2017. Cover art by Hal Rotter (Plague Widow, Rotting Graphics). The fire is strong!
