Graveland – Creed Of Iron (2000)

December 4, 2023

The art is shite (developers of barely functional early 2000s photo editing software called, they want their crappy effects back), and at times this record reminds me of Mortician (never thought I’d be writing that on a Graveland review) what with it’s bizarre production.

Despite these drawbacks (not that sounding like Mortician is always a drawback but for fucking Graveland it should be) Creed Of Iron is a very well made black metal record. What I’ve learned about Graveland over their albums is that whilst I may not like all of them, I cannot deny that they stand out on their own, doing their own thing, with their own unique approach and evolving sound.
