REVIEW PULL THE CHAIN

Heruka is an italian one man project (sicilian Buddhist philosopher?) which suffers from the usual weaknesses of this kind of personal project. «Leggenda» is no bad piece of music for my opinion. As usual, some themes are a little bit too long and the programmed drums works are boring me to death (but it’s just the usual remarks).On the other side, there are what seem to be some Bathory surroundings (the epic facet of the whole project), and there is a definite Dani Filth presence as well, but the mix of black metal structures, orchestral surroundings and more epic influenced parts is agreeable to the ear (mainly if you keep in mind you have to make with an one-man project). It’s just epic and orchestral in an aggressive kind of way and for this particular reason, «Leggenda» sounds quite interesting to my ears an is way ahead of most of the underground black metal solo project…even if it doesn’t score great ratings in the originality department. Good stuff.
