Editorial Reviews

Stormlord sound more mature than ever in their music. Their songs sound more structured and thus more brutal than ever before! A fantastic epic Black Metal blend from Italy.

I hope to hear a lot more from these guys. This album is packed with catchy tunes, awesome drumming and generally tight musicianship. Can't expect much more from a black metal band. Best tracks in my opinion are Xanadu and Curse of Medusa.

Stormlord - At The Gates Of Utopia is a average Synphonic Black Metal release. I'm really into Death Metal,some Black Metal rules but a lot I don't care for. I would however consider real true Black Metal bands such as (Immortal,Enthroned) to be bands that never disappoint in the scene of Black Metal. Anyways those of you not familiar with Stormlord they play Synphonic Black Metal with keyboards present but don't sound overly commerical like Cradle,Dimmu and Borknagar. I usually can't stand keyboards but the way its mixed with the drums and guitar riffs fits well with the music on this release. Lastly those of you that can't stand the production quality in a lot of Black Metal,theres no problem here great production but yet not to polished to make it sound fake. Worth a listen,much better than overated trendy gothic junk such as Cradle Of Crap,Borkniger,Old Mans Child,Susperia
