Remember the Ravenstorm demo I posted last year? Well, here's the precursor Wayreth with their only demo, courtesy of brother Grev, once again! As he got his copy from another trader back in the old days we have no cover available. If someone has it and could scan it, I'd greatly appreciate that!

So how does this compare to the Ravenstorm material which was hanging on the symphonic branch of the black metal tree? Well, first off, ironically, this older demo sounds better due to less tape wear on the copy dubbed though the studio sound itself is pretty good demo level too. The synths are more in the background and overall feeling is not as much symphonic as on the evolved form. It is quite easy to hear this is the same band in a different stage as the speed levels and melodic approach remain similar post name change. Less intricate and more aggressive I suppose. Recommended if you enjoyed the Ravenstorm release and worth checking out even if you didn't but in general like (melodic) black metal.

Wayreth splitted to two another bands somewhere around 1997. The BM genre went pretty hot at that time in Finland and there was some unnessasery violence against the band Ravenstorm decided to continue on their path and they regruitet a new drummer and guitarist. The story was short because the enviroment began groving dancerous, wich is ofcourse a big shame! I would have been very proud of their success and courier! All the best to the fellow band mates! Br. Drummer, Wayreth. Ps. Hail all thee!
