Bornholm - March for Glory and Revenge

I've really been liking the the atmospheric Black Metal lately, and this album post is only further proof of that.  Bornholm are from Hungary, and are noticeably more slick than others of this style.  This is probably from the influence of their better-known countrymen Sear Bliss (although I think Bornholm are better).  These boys from 'Pest also separate themselves from the rest of the BM pack by displaying much tighter playing and sophisticated songwriting.  Many of these riffs are so melodic, they would feel right at home on a Dissection or The Chasm album.  Although trimphant and epic, these battle hymns never lose their darkness, being true to their Black roots.
