The Wolves Of Avalon are a band from the united Kingdom that has been featured before in this zine and on this recording plays a progressive mixture of pagan and folk metal and this is a review of their 2022 album "Y Gododdin" which will be released in November by Godreah Records.
Clean playing starts off the album while also introducing elements of folk music onto the recording which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. Spoken word parts can also b e heard briefly while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style and the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody.
Vocals are done in a very aggressive blackened metal style while keyboards can also be heard at times. Clear pagan vocals are also utilized on a lot of tracks along with some blast beats also being added in the faster sections of the times as well as the music also having its progressive moments. Session work can also be heard from members of Venom Inc, Drudkh, Taake, Forefather and Aklash and most of the album also sticks to a mid tempo style.
On this recording The Wolves of Avalon takes their pagan style of folk metal into more of a progressive direction. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover the ancient battles described in the ancient Welsh poems written by the bard Aneirin.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from The Wolves Of Avalon and if you are a fan of progressive pagan folk metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Men Of Gododdin" and "Dead mans Cloak's"
