Tales of Ratatosk (Germany)




Tales of Ratatosk (Germany)
CD."Rise & Decay"

Tales of Ratatosk bursts onto the scene with a metal full of anger and a lot of melody. We can also obtain characteristics of folk music all within the framework of the most extreme sound. Rise & Decay is an album honoring the folk melody themes with great depth and a lot of energy worthy to drink a good amount of liquor. Breaking down this album we can get unimaginable sounds that take you to medieval Europe and take you to a scene from antiquity itself. Ancient battles and worlds full of magic, an entire atmosphere into which this gang transports you. Eight themes of great value for the genre and a great brutality in the extreme report, I am very surprised by the vocal power of its heartbreaking leader and quite depressing in his records but very suitable to the atmosphere that goes from folkloric to melody then to extreme and leaves you wandering on this journey to the medieval world. Going through all the instrumentation it is impeccable both guitars and bass and a very virtuous percussion, a support of clean female voice with great register and an enviable folk sound compendium for any band of the genre.
