Holy Death - The Knight, Death and the Devil (2005)

Band started in 1989 as Gladiator, but quickly changed its name to Holy Death. During next few years, band released several tape and split releases, and in 1996 released the classic "Triumph Of Evil" album, which was… bootleged by the famous Head Not Found Records from Norway. Band's career was going up and down several times, band had several serious line up changes, and in 2005, their best and probably most mature release was created. "The Knight, Death And The Devil". It's so hard to find really original Black Metal albums in current times, but this album had everything you would like to find on the real Black Metal release: ancient atmosphere, already known from previous Holy Death releases. Great skills of the musicians (album was recorded with Goolary, axeman of the legendary Polish thrash metal band Hellias), and fantastic epic compositions. Of course influences from legendary acts like Bathory, Exorcist or Hellhammer are abvious over here, but of course "The Knight, Death And The Devil" has its own spirit.
