Shieldwall

[Alasdhair]

Has anyone else heard them? I've heard the tracks from their MySpace, and they sound really good. Whats everyone elses opinion?

 

[Rædwald]

Yeah, I'm listening to some now, they seem kind of like a Celtic equivalent to the Anglo-Saxon based Forefather, who I really like.

 

[Alasdhair]

I've heard alot of positive things about Forefather. Is there anywhere I can go to legally listen to their tracks?

 

[Rædwald]

The only place I know of is their MySpace. I also bought their latest album.

 

[Alasdhair]

From what I can hear of Forefather, their style seems to differ quite a bit from Shieldwall... Shieldwall just seem more folk influenced. Ah well, both good bands! If I was to start buying Forefather albums, which one would you recommend?

 

[Rædwald]

I don't really know, because I only have one. But from what I have read, the first album is more traditionally black metal sounding, whereas the other three use more clean vocals and generally have a more folk-influenced sound.

 

[Alasdhair]

I'll probably go for the first album then, as I am a bigger fan of Black Metal than Folk Metal.
