Cor Scorpii - Attergangar
Reviewed by Antonis Maglaras February 2006.

I have the honor to review the debut album from Cor Scorpii, a new band from Norway. "Attergangar" is the title of their demo which has four tracks and almost twenty five minutes of pure metal music. The main song writer is Gaute, who was in Windir too, but now the band isn't any more. So with more free time Gaute, finally able to write all the songs in this demo and of course musically Cor Scorpii is a mixture of Windir influences but also is a combination of melodic black metal, with death metal elements and some folk tunes too. The compositions are well worked with interesting ideas and generally the song structure is remarkable. So sit back in your seat and be prepared to follow the music from Cor Scorpii with the aggression and the melodies to combine perfectly with a dark atmosphere and a cold sense of Norway. I believe that Cor Scorpii is a theatrical band and they transfer a lot of feelings and images through their music and this is the one of the best things, to travel through the music to foreign countries. For sure the demo from Cor Scorpii is one of the few very good debut releases and i am sure that soon or later the band will find a label to help them to release their debut album too. Check it out immediately.

SCORE 8.8/10
