Haradrim – Death of Idols (Album Review)

Release Date: June 23rd 2023 - Trust No One Recordings / EAT Heavy Records

HARADRIM - Death of Idols

Death of Idols is the debut offering of Haradrim. Inspired by a race of men from Lord of the rings. The core duo of Swedes Anton Palmborg and Dennis Sjögren have created a raw furious debut record that intones the grandeur of raw black metal along with the defiance of punk and hardcore.

‘’Ashes of Warsaw’’ is a track with its slower tempo that allows the crust and deliberate picking room to breathe and seethe with its vitriol and intent, the doom touches adding weigh to and already very heavy track.

The vocals are raspy and pained yet clear as on the suitably furious “’Venus Falling’’, the guitars are clear and powerful with some great solos as on the excellent ‘’Godless”. ‘’ ‘Nero’’ is ninety seconds of utter rhythmic chaos that allows the crust and punk to shine through, along with ‘’Price of Compliance ‘’ it is a measured sound that balances the energy of punk and hardcore infused by black metal along with an ominous undertone and impending threat of violence.

‘’Defiling of Spirit’’ captures that Marduk, Behemoth relentless march of inevitable Armageddon whilst ‘’Tyrant’’  is suitably arrogant, infused with pride and again some excellent percussion  that hurtles the track towards its frenetic  goal with another great solo and war like vocals.

Vicious and Riddled with malcontent, Death of Idols a fist to the constraints and deceptions of modern society that has failed to progress throughout history. Riddled with atmosphere and excellent musicianship it is a debut that heralds Haradrim’s arrival and leaves a lingering mark upon the listener.
