GERNOTSHAGEN - WELTENBRAND - TROLLZORN 
Here comes another so-called 'pagan metal' band with all the trappings (as in fur) that goes with it. These folk rockers look all fierce in promotional photos, but the music is really a lullaby in disguise. All the croaking vocals, growls and drums (which are really a drum machine here) do not disguise the anti-metal nature of being devoted to a heritage, a land, a people and a creed that contravnes metal’s original nature of uniting the angry underbelly based on good fast and heavy music, which is relished with anger. The hoarse chanting vocals, female vocals and German weather reports are nothing but instruments of the wimp. The band’s swords and shields is as much a ruse as Manowar’s caveman gear is for banging cheap disease-ridden broads and getting free beer. The lyrics are in German, but how much imagination does one need to figure out a title like Sturmbringer? - Ali “The Metallian”
