Cold Winds - raging black metal

Cold Winds

Whispers from the Realm of Sorrow

August 27th, 2021

Bandcamp and Metal Archives show Cold Winds as an anonymous entity. Cold Winds is raging, fast, traditional, attack-mode, shrieking, howling black metal. The spiraling, charge-ahead sound of the music is an open invitation to headbanging. The drum sound seems way too dynamic for this to be programmed drumming, and the classic-style guitar work is thoroughly entertaining. The moon-mad howling, one supposes, could be real lyrics, but it could also be non-lyrical rabid, frenzied screaming. Either way, it is done well. Song number four ends with a drum solo, further underlining the idea that there is a drummer at work here (?). Anyway, devoted fans of traditional, fast necro black metal must make sure to get their claws on this recording. There is practically nothing to complain about. The only thing now is to try to get your hands on the lyrics and also see if you can figure out who is behind this black metal.
