With this release Netherbird have matured and deepened their distinctive sound, where the early scene influences and their respect for the 90’s black/death underground become clearer than ever.
As always, the band displays a solid and confident ability to combine ferocious music with high sense of melody.
On the new album harshness meets the fragile and subtle, and this symbiosis goes even further – closer to the extreme metal roots and at the same time more innovative than ever before, which rings especially evident in the epic piece “Along the Colonnades” full of post-metal echos.
It is a clear progression of the path the band set already in 2005 with its first release and continued to develop on the follow-up records, still Netherbird stay faithful to their own musical formula which makes them recognizable on today’s mercurial scene.
The journey goes onward, and The Ferocious Tides Of Fate will serve as an important milestone as Netherbird continues to grow its following through touring and releasing more quality music.
