Crown of Wallachia - Demo

Crown of Wallachia Demo Independent

Although one track alone is only a small offering to go off of, if this sample is any indication of the talent and composition behind Crown of Wallachia, then there is an unstoppable fury pulsing behind them. The band is a brainchild of an enigmatic resident of Oregon, who creates with guest musicians playing leads in the studio. As far as independent and individually run black metal projects go, Crown of Wallachia's quality is as pure as it is ambitious.

The band is a conceptual homage to the Wallachian lord who fought to keep the borders of Christianity in Europe with an edge of ruthlessness that will be forever remembered in the West. Count Vlad Tepes the Impaler was nothing if not an unleashed warrior with no limits, and that’s the spirit that the demo conveys.

The demo is superbly produced, and the machine gun instrumentation is captured wonderfully across the track. There are certainly no experimental or over the top elements in this song, but the purity of second generational black metal is utterly evident; raw rapid tempo music that channels all the maddening energies of the twisting nether. One could certainly picture a montage of Vlad Tepes reducing all of his enemies to pulps of human flesh and blood.
