Description

2022 reissue on Drakkar Productions

Over the years, Graveland has evolved from a rickety, clickety-clackity raw black metal band to one that took on the overall mood of Bathory’s Twilight Of The Gods to build a foundation of triumphantly epic music. Band leader (and apparently sole member these days) Rob Darken has made a career of conforming to the black metal requirements of taking on a questionable political stance and making outrageous statements to the underground music press. Just like everyone else. But despite his cartoonish public image, Rob Darken nailed down some pretty good music in the last 15 years. Wotan Mit Mir continues along the path of long songs. Expediency is apparently not in this guy’s vocabularly. The lumbering music features the usual Graveland suspects: croaked vocals, splashes of triumphant keyboards, minor key changes.
