Winterfylleth are one of the UK’s most well-regarded and consistent black metal acts. For that reason, The Thrennody Of Triumph also suffers. There is not much of a fault in this per se, but for music that is so grandiose and epic and extremely well-crafted, it’s a bit of a shame that when listening, you feel like you can always guess its next move.
I prefer The Ghost Of Heritage album, which was their debut (honestly I had to Google it, because every album has a lovely picturesque landscape on the front, and every album also starts with ‘The’), but by album number three (this), I am starting to tune out. Which shouldn’t happen, because this is great music.
