SOLOTHUS- RITUAL OF THE HORNED SKULL (DEMO REVIEW)

Solothus...blasting all the way from Finland is this death metal/doom metal band. In a lot of respects, this 4 song DEMO is utterly worth having. Combining the sounds of Bolt Thrower type vocals and riffs that will remind the listener of Candlemass and Cathedral to name a couple of bands. Solothus offers the listener something different about their sound..it's unique. My personal favorite song is the first one called "A Call to War." They prove that they don't have to be all about blast beats, but sometimes slower metal is better, Solothus will prove that they have what it takes to be the next best thing in doom metal. If you don't believe me, find the band on Facebook. And if you don't like them, then eat feces. Anyhow folks, as far as this DEMO goes...I'm gonna give a 5/5 stars because it's not an every day thing that you find a band that can take doom and death metal and make it sound GOOD! Solothus does just that. SO metalheads, keep your horns up and keep the UNDERGROUND ALIVE!!! \m/-_-\m/ EVILVENGEANCE666
