I have listened to Gwynnbleid over 40 times.
This is definitely making me want to hear more. When will the album or EP be released?
Favorite track: Gwynnbleidd.
For me, this is a perfect example of how amazing NWOTHM can be, because it sounds like a bunch of nerds just geeking out about Heavy Metal and Fantasy and being really good at it by coincidence!
So from one nerd to others: fantastic job!
p.s. Love the Moorcock references! Yordi V
what a ride. I'm listening to NWP and really digging the mellow folk vibe and then whoo hoo! UTA stomps the effing gas pedal and takes off at mach speed. love it. \m/ stetters
So I can't leave a long enough review to say everything I want. But I will say this, I love this EP. It's a great little follow up to times, and has just enough of a dynamic shift in sound to prove that Smoulder isn't a one trick pony with their first album's formula. This one really plays up the 70s prog aspects (DUST and Manilla Road influences definitely shine through even harder here). It's still Smoulder, don't get me wrong. Just a different side in some ways, all of which are good. playfulpooka
