Reviews list for Wode - Servants of the Countercosmos (2017)

The UK is not blessed with an overabundance of quality black metal bands, but Manchester's Wode are rapidly becoming one of them. Although the sound is more polished than most nineties black metal releases, this album's heart most definitely belongs in the early days of the second wave and unashamedly so. No genre-bending experimentation, no blackened this or that, just straight-up pummelling black metal like back in the day. And it's only half an hour long, for extra authenticity!
