Stimmen Der Freiheit - Schwertwache

Review by Rob McHenry

Schwertwache by Stimmen Der Freiheit is a powerful and intense album that showcases the band's unique blend of black metal, neofolk, and martial industrial music. The album features eight tracks that are filled with raw energy, haunting melodies, and powerful lyrics that deal with themes of war, death, and loss.

The album opens with the track "Die Letzte Fahrt", a haunting and atmospheric piece that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The following tracks, such as "Schwertwache" and "Kriegersehnsucht", are more aggressive and feature heavy guitar riffs and pounding drums that create a sense of urgency and intensity.

Throughout the album, Stimmen Der Freiheit's use of traditional instruments, such as the hurdy-gurdy and bagpipes, adds a unique flavor to the music and sets them apart from other bands in the genre. The vocals, which alternate between clean singing and harsh screams, are also a highlight of the album and add to the emotional intensity of the music.

Summary by Rob McHenry

Schwertwache is a brilliant album that showcases Stimmen Der Freiheit's talent for creating powerful and evocative music that is both intense and emotional. Fans of black metal, neofolk, and martial industrial music will definitely want to check out this album.
