The Return of the Unweeping

Great songs ruined!

If you wanted to make a list for the Top 4 Vlad Tepes songs, you would probably end up with these 4 songs here! Great riffage, badass vocals, with a fantastic cold, desolate atmosphere. If you like good, tight drumming, you should probably check another band because they never had a good performance in that section (for obvious reasons).

All the songs are incredible in their songwriting and riffs, especially "Under the Carpathian Yoke" and "In Holocaust to the Natural Darkness".

But boy oh boy! The production of this particular demo sucks! It almost sounds like the mics were set on another building opposite the building where the instruments were being played!

So, in a way, this demo is the exact opposite of the previous demo. The riffs are awesome, but the production is as bad as it gets! My recommendation would be to find the remastered edition of these songs, or the ones on the split album (with Belketre).

All in all, these songs are exceptionally good, but they are not very well performed or recorded on this particular demo!
