WATAIN enters international charts with new album, 'The Wild Hunt'
Front-man Erik Danielsson comments: "It's always a special feeling to release an album with WATAIN; to let the levee break and have the hungry waters gush forth again, swallowing everything in its way. Hail to all of our supporters who gave the release of 'The Wild Hunt' the attention and dignity it deserves! See you on the long and winding road that now lies ahead of us."
To purchase The Wild Hunt, please visit iTunes for a digital copy or CM Distro for a variety of physical formats. For a preview of The Wild Hunt, be sure to check out the previously released singles: "All That May Bleed" and "The Child Must Die".
Having graced the magazine covers of Decibel (USA), Terrorizer (UK), Metalized (DK), Rock Hard (DE), Scream (NO), Sweden Rock (SE), Rock Tribune (BE), and Metallian (FR), WATAIN has left a media buzz in the wake of The Wild Hunt's release. Amid the tracks teeming with the trio's classic sound, the band's fifth full-length also features clean vocals, Spanish guitars, and other musical experimentation, with the end result being "their most daring album yet" (Decibel Magazine). Read on for a few international reviews of The Wild Hunt:
"There's a window in time where certain bands are the most dangerous or the most powerful in the world...Right now, that band is WATAIN." -- DEL JAMES (long-time GUNS N' ROSES road manager), DECIBEL MAGAZINE (USA)
"...'The Wild Hunt' is an impressive album that allows one of the scene's stalwarts to put a new face on a familiar shadow." -- METAL SUCKS.net (USA)
"Doubtlessly one of this year's absolute highlights." -- ROCK HARD (DE) (9/10 points, Soundcheck #2)
"...endless darkness, pure emotion and sheer hate soaked in a deep black aura - an insane album! Probably it's already THE black metal record of the year!" -- METAL HAMMER (DE) (7/7 points, Soundcheck #3)
"Evil melodies, somewhere between DISSECTION and MAYHEM, the proverbial black fire and a high amount of individuality are mandatory on 'The Wild Hunt'." -- LEGACY (DE) (14/15 points)
"'The Wild Hunt' embodies not only the most anticipated heavy record of the year, but also the most important album of WATAIN's career." -- METAL HAMMER (UK) (9/10 points)
"Every single song is an explosive revolution." -- TERRORIZER (UK) (9.5/10 points)
"Exciting, vital music that grabs you by the soul." -- KERRANG (UK)
"'The Wild Hunt' is amazing! WATAIN are the masters! A true icon of the modern Black Metal scene" -- METALLIAN (FR)
"WATAIN adds new influences and colours in its black metal and creates its best album to date. An intense, great work that should attract many new fans." -- ROCK HARD (FR)
"The essential extreme metal album of this year." -- ROCK HARD (IT)
