Elurra - Alles was kommt ist Schnee (EP Review)

Tracklist:
1. Alles was bleibt ist Schnee
2. Die Jagd
3. Ragnarök
4. Ewiger Winter
5. Alte Götter
6. Unser Krieg

This is the latest release form the four man German black metal band Elurra, who describe themselves as an RABM (Red and Anarchist Black Metal) band.

Musically this EP is a very good example of no strings attached black metal that is well crafted and creates a multi layered often gloomy sound that I found to be very enjoyable. This release is awash with different speeds and musical textures, that give it a nice variety and keep the sound fresh throughout.

One of the most varied elements of the EP is the vocal work, which shifts seamlessly from the slow elegant whispers on the first track Alles was bleibt ist Schnee, to the very aggressive growls and screams on the last track Unser Krieg, which happens to be my personal favourite track on this release.

Overall this is a very interesting release that because of its varied sound will probably appeal to fans of many different styles of black metal.
