A Band of Orcs: Will Add your Pathetic Head to the Pile!

The great orc overlords from A Band of Orcs have released their decapitating new album Adding Heads to the Pile. These Santa Cruz, CA locals...well more like the locals who come from another dimension known as Hirntodia are by far my favorite local band. They bring a great thrash, death metal fusion of epicness upon our puny disgusting human selves. Anyways, their new album is by far their best work yet! Each song tells a tale of the orcs epic journeys in their homeland. Weather its slaying dragons, enslaving elves, conjuring dark magic, or butchering all in their path, each blood wrenching song delivers greatness. The malevolent song When the Hills Run Red, starts with such an empowering rage that I could take on dozens of fiends with my bare hands. This tune will surely bring streams of crimson blood across all battle ready hills in its path. With the mighty Gogog on vocals and Gronk on backing vocals, the song Hall of the Frozen Dead gives off a skull crushing chant. At the Mouth of Fire is the most succulent song from the album in my opinion, the melodic Amon Amarth sound to it, mmm so tasty. Gzoroth must have been pleased with this song for sure. I was very pleased to see that their was an instrumental song on this album. This instrumental song being A Deeper Evil, the song starts slow and mysterious, then builds up with a heavy guitar rift and then follows through with majestic guitar work all while Oog smashes away at the drums. The song is just so interesting, there truly is a deeper evil lurking within it. Gogog, Gronk!, Oog, Cretos and Hulg all deliver so much seer gore invested goodness in my ears throughout each song that I just couldn't help but keep listening. This album was great, entertaining and just fucking awesome. Cant wait to see you guys this upcoming friday! Hail Gzoroth!
