Lo stile degli Ereb Altor è molto vicino a quello delle mitiche prime prove dei BATHORY, una delle band più influenti per il BLACK METAL e per lo stile PAGAN EPIC VIKING METAL. Ecco quindi sette brani che uniscono un’ aggressività e velocità tipicamente BLACK METAL ma variata con altisonanti momenti EPIC e con melodie malinconiche, che creano quell’ effetto “nordico” che ha reso famosa la band di Quorthon.
Questo nuovo “Gastrike” ha perciò tutte le carte in regola per far entrare gli Ereb Altor di diritto nella schiera del Valhalla dei gruppi VIKING BLACK METAL !!
 

Bathory, but also hidden Swedish folk melodies, remain the band’s largest influence, which is quite evident with the adventurous pacing,
crunchy riffs and frequent epic clean vocals.

The album mixes between heavy handed segments of galloping riffs and crashing percussion, and more nuanced melodies driven forth by a wall of keyboard notes.
It’s that essence of balance that makes this album work so well, backed up by a very powerful production.
The clean vocal melodies sound stronger and more confident this time around and the harsh and raspy roars are more furious and raging.
The band leans on the airy keyboard passages a little more than before, but it adds a more melodic flare to the slower passages.
The majority of the album focuses on Quorthon inspired riffing, with its thick power chords and thundering percussion mixed with an airy keyboard backdrop that brings to mind “Hammerheart” and “Twilight of the Gods”.

The previously mentioned black metal influences work their way in here and there, but the focus remains on Bathory-ish epicness and heaviness.
