Vampire (SWE) – With Primeval Force
21.04.2017
Century Media Records
Vampire is a being who is feeding from the blood of the living, mostly known in Transylvanian folklore like Dracula. Nowadays since 18th century, vampire gradually became a romantic character, with nice pale face.
Vampire also a Swedish quintet arose from Gothenburg back in 2011 to keep the ancient vampire traditions, when Vampire was an evil form. In that year there were only three: Hand Of Doom-vocals, guitars; Black String-guitars and Command-bass. The demo simply called “Vampire” came out in 2012 limited to 200 copies, but it was enough to notice Century Media Records.
First full length already released by Century Media with the same title in 2014. For this LP Ratwing joined as drummer. I can categorize that album, that a mixture of Celtic Frost/Possessed playing faster and Vampire itself, surrounded by the black mist that comes only from Sweden and that voice that reminds me to Erik's voice (Watain). Nonetheless, Vampire isn't just a newer copy band or simply retro.
Until now only a few EP was released since their first LP, but Condor brothers joined, so the full line up was: Hand Of Doom-vocal; Black String-guitar; Command-bass; Abysmal Condor-drums and Sepulchral Condor-guitars.
I'm not sure about the present correct line-up. Maybe Ratwing came back or Condor brothers remained. Anyway Vampire will come back with an amazing second album, that contains 9 songs of true Nordic Thrash Metal. Yes, there are inspirations from the end of the '80's like Destruction or newer like Aura Noir or Dissection and fourth 'Skull Prayer' is the song that such an extra song from first Tormentor (HUN) demo.
Even I worship Vampire's work. There are a lot of bands and there aren't too many new things in music, but other things is just copying or playing with loyalty. Vampire is the one that play songs with blood and soul. The sound is great and bewitching. I'm in the present and the past at the same time, when I listening to “With Primeval Force”.
The Swedish warriors did a great stuff again that compel you to buy this LP on vinyl for the perfect atmosphere. Not to mention that amazing cover, where a monster unify the earth and the sky. Look upon the bat wings..gently caress your soul to call...
