Black Messiah - The First War Of The World

Viking metal straight from Germany. "The First War Of The World" is the 4th album from Black Messiah and it does not disappiont in the least. Any into Norse mythology will deffinately appreciated this album's theme. "The First War Of The World" is a very epic atmospheric creation that has been well thought out and put together with extreme strength using catchy riffs and melodies along with aggressive vocals and incorporates various musical elements which all blend perfectly together in harmony. Personally I do not have a preference of any one song over the other which is rare for me when reviewing or just listening to an album. All is pretty much consistant here, every track is an extention of the other and Black Messiah have managed to find a way to tell the tale of the first battle/war of the worlds in an original manner that I feel only this band could pull off without ever sounding cheesy or repeatitive of someone's else's works. I give "The First War Of The World" a very well deserving +5/5.
