about

DREADNOUGHT have always defied category. On their new album, they refine the defiance. Wars Of Spirit // Wards Of Light fuses progressive metal, folk, and atmosphere into something leaner and more direct than anything in their catalogue — without losing an ounce of depth. Artwork by Eisner Award-winner Christian Ward. Mixed by Julius Mauranen (Oranssi Pazuzu). Cosmic in scale. Deeply human at its core.

Black metal of the American West. Wayfarer have taken a somewhat niche theme and successfully transformed it into a style of atmospheric black metal that not only grabs but keeps your attention throughout. Very well done… very well done indeed. 8/10 RJ
