Vortex of confusion

[protector]

Well, this title of enthroned from their last opus "Xes Haereticum" is pretty "confusing" : I've noticed some little details like :

- Sabathan shares vocals with Nornagest (actually Norna sings more than sabathan whatever...) but the axeman got a better voice there than his lead singer (confusion number 1)
- The lyrics are abviously very personal hard to get (confusion number 2)
- " the kiss of the wolf sat my heart of fire..." from the hateful enthroned sounds pretty emotional (confusion number 3)
- Slayer alike riffs, mixed with pure enthroned and a bit of dissection in places ( amazing!! but confusion number 4)!

Now some poeples down there will certainly ask why I started a thread just for that...well I think this track is simply fantastic one of the best ever composed in the whole history of BM may it be for the music, feeling and at least the title fits 1000% the lyrics and the whole package!

a masterpiece in it's own, and congratulation Nornagest for the vocal work, It makes me more curious to find the demo of Plague!

I agree, Vortex is taking me by my guts everytime I hear it!!
And yeah, well I like Sabathan vocals a lot but it's killer to hear Nornagest singing too, he's got a fuckin' voice from low death grunts to hi demonic vocals!
and congratulation for vortex the whole song may it be lyrics and music is like a tsunami of feelings crushing your soul!
Glaurung drumming is fuckin killer as well!!

This is indeed a great song , one of my all time Enthroined favourite, I think the vocal duet is awsome I think Enthroned should do that more often, not that I don't like Sabathan voice but the mix of both voices (Nornagest/ Sabathan) is simply fantastic, maybe the secret for Enthroned to have their own style at 100% simply hides in this thing as it is simply (once more) AWSOME!!

and killer lyrics, really takes you from inside, even had some tears one day getting really into the song and lyrics!

Glaurung is not playing on "XES Haereticum" it's Alsvid still!

Glaurung's first release will be "Black Goat Ritual, live in thy flesh"

And thanx for the comments about "Vortex..." and especially about the duet, we will see if we will continue that kind of thing which I appreciated , I think it gives more variety and you rae able to give more feeling and tone to the music, maybe in the future....

Overtune the curse - retaliate
The Seven Plagues are conquered by hate "

Yes, It's Harris Johns the mighty legendary producer of Celtic Frost, Sodom, Kreator and Tankard!!!

I shall say it again ; Nornagest must sing more!!!!
