Review by Daniel for Keep of Kalessin - Reptilian (2010)

Intense black metal with very obvious classic thrash metal influences. When Keep Of Kalessin are playing blasting black metal I find them to be very exciting however the old school thrash riffs, anthemic choruses & lead guitar solos all detract from the overall atmosphere. "The Dragontower" is particularly poor. Having said that the band is good at what they do. Their sound is very tight with drummer Vyl particularly impressive. Needs a bit more maturity in the songwriting to compete with the big boys.
