Hellveto - Neoheresy

This is probably the best mix of Black Metal and so-called "Pagan Metal" that I've heard.  What that means is that this musical entity has a Black Metal foundation, but with a liberal addition of folk instruments (flute, strings) as well as a slightly less dark and more "triumphant" overall emotion.  Hellveto is a one-man village of musical company, all instrumentation and vocal incantations are handled by a slavonic shaman known simply as "L.O.N."  While his playing may not be as tight as Infestus "sole-man" Andras, his orchestration skills and diversity of instruments played surely makes up for any technical lukewarmth.  The production pulls no punches either, with all instruments complimenting each other nicely and the overall sound not being too dry or too murky; nicely done.   Don't let the "glossy" name fool you, this isn't the ultra-hyped, commercialized blend that's been all over Terrorizer Magazine, this is honest and personal music, free of trends!
