Review: Few bands manage to pack their first seconds of the album with enough impact to immediately lift the listener’s spirit to the level: "here’s something I should listen to!" Tarnkappe’s first song Bodemkruiper, which is an awesome title (literally ‘soil crawler’, but I can imagine several different meanings), does this and introduces an album that hardly ever loses your interest. The sound is crystal clear. The riffs are interesting. The vocalist’s sound is perfect for the band’s Dutch lyrics, and keeps me glued to the music. Tarnkappe is one of the bands that our black metal scene can take pride in. Perhaps veteran instrumentalist Nortfalke (formerly / also known as Swerc) has a lot to do with this, since he is also the composer of Standvast - one of my favourite Dutch bands at the moment.
