Carrion Crows over Camlan

Impressive debut album by English act The Wolves of Avalon, a parallel project led by the brilliant Metatron (The Meads of Asphodel), through which he pays tribute to the mythical golden age of the Celts in Britain, a work deeply rooted in pagan epic, ancestral tradition and a strong sense of identity bound to myth and land. “Carrion Crows over Camlan” unfolds a martial and atmospheric form of black metal with a strong melodic charge, where riffs follow one another with ritual solemnity, structures advance at a steady pace and the atmospheres evoke battlefields, crows circling above ruins and a past that stubbornly refuses to fade away. Far from a purely aggressive approach, “Carrion Crows over Camlan” stands out for its narrative and immersive character, combining rawness and epic grandeur with remarkable coherence, shaping a solid and highly convincing debut, enriched by collaborations with the likes of Rob Darken, Roland Schropp and M. O. Wohlfahrt, laying the foundations for a project with a distinctive voice and a deep respect for the spiritual and musical heritage of English black metal.
