GOD LOVES THE DEAD

This Norwegian black metal band never got the break through their labels and themselves craved. But that was not for the lack of trying.

The title track is a pedestrian black metal track with a lot of synths in addition to the guitars and the usual black metal vocal. It is nothing special and only a half-decent song. The single Trolltaar follows and does not bring anything interesting to the table. The version of Iron Maiden's Powerslave is interesting. It is not often anyone does coverversions of this track, one of Iron Maiden's best ever songs. Ancient drags this song down to the black metal underworld and that's it. Nothing special. The other songs is nothing special too and you get two videos here too.

This is an EP for their fans and nothing more.
