Daemonheim - Hexentanz

Daemonheim is a German band that consist of two members, Carcharoth (guitars and vocals) and TH (guitar). The band is around since 1999 and this album "Hexentanz" (dance of witches) is their 2nd full length. I don't know their previous work so I have no reference. What I hear on this album is a weak and dull production with that typical distorted black metal guitar sound. Because of the bad production the drums are also way in the back. It is sounding as 1 tone and you have to listen closely to pick out the melody. Vocals are rasping and spewing the lyrics in German (don't worry, the lyrics are printed). Long songs (the shortest is 5 minutes) but there is enough hars melody and breaks and they are capable of interact with the various tempos. The songs have enough to offer to keep you atracted but they must use a better studio and clear recording to create a real powerful album.
