| One of the best Black and Death Metal hybrids in the world is Norway's Keep of Kalessin. Their blast beat inferno rhythms serves Keep of Kalessin well on Reptilian, a pounding, mythical ode to dragonfire. What's different this time around, at least for much of the ride, is Keep of Kalessin fuses more rock, power metal and prog in-between their riotous mayhem on Reptilian. Reptilian embraces their fantasy element and lavishes their velocity with an an overall leanness on Reptilian. (2010) |
