HERESIARH
“Dragons of War”
Elven Witchcraft
Heresiarh are a new band to spawn from the Baltic. Hailing from Latvia,
this ensemble of six talented musicians offers a journey into fantastic and
ancient times when mythical beasts roamed the earth and skies! From the
diverse contrast of blasting dark rhythms to the harmonious voice of lead
vocalist Rasa, Heresiarh produce a sound of great variety and majestic
complexity. Excellent guitar solos matched with skilled keyboard work offer
atmosphere to the production, while the female voice carries the sound into
forgotten landscapes inspired by Tolkien. An added bonus to this incredible
opus would be the astounding full colour cassette packaging that is very
professional and high quality (definitely a great start for the Elven
Witchcraft label). Heresiarh most definitely holds a profound status in
epic extreme fantasy metal, and there is no doubt they will place their
homeland, Latvia, on the underground metal map. This release is a must for
all fans of dark and symphonic dragon war!
