Review by Sonny for Wode - Burn in Many Mirrors (2021)

Manchester's Wode are one of modern black metal's underrated and consitent bands and are one of the finest exponents of the genre to come out of England, in my opinion. They play frigid and blasphemous black metal, alloyed with death metal's brutality and violence, also throwing in some thrash metal sensibility for a sound that is at once modern whilst also harking back to the metal gods of previous decades.

The six tracks on offer here have a decent variety to them, from dissonant, Icelandic-influenced black metal to blackened thrashing harking back to the early days of Sodom and Hellhammer and powerful blackened death metal riffing, for an unholy and triumphant sound that may shake the very walls of heaven.
