Genre: Folk/Black/PaganOrigin: Ireland
Release Date: 1998
Label: Misanthropy Records
Primordial is well-known for their later epics, mainly To The Nameless Dead and The Gathering Wilderness. They are much less known for their early black metal material. This is their second album, and it is very black-metal inspired, yet sounds much like a folk album. This album takes us through 7 tracks of epic pagan-inspired metal.
A Journey's End gives us a very anthemic feel, but not as much as their later works. The black metal roots still hold here, and a mix of a deeply emotional clean vocals and harsh, angry -yet still emotional - growls. The overall sound is melodic and nothing stands out right away, all of the instruments mold together into one. The sound is distinctly Primordial, and instantly recognizable.
Most bands never even dream of being as emotional as Primordial are. The band has deep passion behind their music, and it shows.
