The Yaroslavl group Scald brightly flashed on a domestic scene in the mid-nineties. I flashed, and immediately I went out. At that time, the collective outstripped the time, at least for about five years, still: group of pagan sense - an improbable event for Russia of those years. Nobody expected that the little-known collective will be able to reach world level in the shortest lines, and to set an inaccessible level of quality for a domestic underground. It isn't known, what heights the group if tragicly life of her lead singer - Agilya didn't break, in the world - Maxim Vladimirovich Andriyanov could reach.
Skilled metalworkers at the mention of a genre have viking metal, first of all legendary Bathory comes to mind, but music of Scald costs closer to traditional a thought, and to his founders of Candlemass. If to be more exact, style of group represents heavy and doom metal hybrid, with an unostentatious keyboard lining and epichny sounding. The first that is evident when listening - mighty raspevny a vocal. To some can seem strange, Agil's unusual viscous vocal, and even at all frighten off. (It, our hero is obliged to demobilizations broken to him a nasal partition for altercations. ) Listen attentively companions, more anywhere I didn't hear such magnificent vocal, and precisely I won't hear. Here that the vocalist from god means! That is important, Agil without the slightest accent - a big rarity sings for groups singing in English. The people familiar with creativity of Kvorton perfectly know about firm dampish record of albums of the Master giving to music special charm - to "Will Of The Gods Is Great Power" there was something similar. Though everything is written down and reduced on the four with a minus - the listener perceives everything as a reality. Everything is normal, and has to be.
Music of Scald is impregnated with bitterness about left times - there were in the past long travel and wars. All romanticism disappeared in a non-existence - there was only a music and our memory.
