Everybody has some kind of idea what the music sounds like when they hear the term ‘Mittelalterrock’. However, Ingrimm is a bit different, because Ingrimm tends to be a lot harsher than the great bands from the genre like In Extremo or Saltatio Mortis. The band sounds a bit more ‘metal’, with sometimes teven Thrashy influences, and the vocals doesn’t sound so ‘pinched’ as the other bands I just mentioned.
The music, that’s a bit in between hardrock and metal, is completed by the various traditional medieval instruments like a hurdy-gurdy and a violin. Especially the pieces played by the hurdy-gurdy, which are often used as the intro of a song, remind me a lot of a mixture between Faun and Eluveitie... (folk-metal.nl)
With this album Ingrimm shows a different approach to folk metal and medieval rock with their music being more based on traditional, melodic and extreme forms of metal while still having the folk elements and this band is a lot more metal orientated than most folk metal bands. Song lyrics are written in German and cover folklore themes, while the production has a very strong, powerful, heavy and professional sound where you can hear all of the musical instruments that are present on this recording. In my opinion Ingrimm are a very great sounding mixture of folk metal and medieval rock and if you are a fan of those musical genre, you should check out this band. (ExtremeUndergroundMusicZine)
