Primordial's "The Gathering Wilderness should be under Black Metal

First Post June 20, 2021 10:21 PM

I'd argue that Primordial's 2005 album "The Gathering Wilderness" is one of the most comprehensive releases in The North in that it's very difficult to categorize & falls in between the cracks between the clan's three main genres in black metal, folk metal & Viking metal. At the moment it's only being tagged with folk metal but I feel that there's a strong enough black metal component to warrant it receiving that tag as well, despite the clean vocal delivery. To be more specific, I'd tag it under both the Celtic Metal & Pagan Black Metal subgenres with the Viking Metal elements being more of an influence.
