Ellorsith is a brand new band that surfaced during the summer of 2014. Hailing from Scotland they debuted with a very interesting concept ep "1959" influenced by the horrific and mysterious events of the "Dylatov Pass". The ep is perfect in a sense that it captures the atmosphere of what happened that dreadful day the group of skiers traveled up the northern parts of the Ural mountains in Russia never to return. The bodies were discovered to be horribly mutilated without any evidence but traces of radiation. To this very day it still baffles scientists and investigators and remains a mystery.
The guitars can be best described as unorthodox and ominous creating a deep unrelenting feeling of dread as the drums ferocious at times carry the listener to the unknown depths of the mountains. The cymbal work is very good in my opinion and the blasts and double bass are very complimentary to the chaotic guitar riffs. The vocals remind me a lot of Hate Forest and Death Fortress and work perfectly with the atmosphere. Overall a very strong debut and I look very much forward to seeing what they come up with next.
The cassettes are currently sold out however feel free to purchase the digital album on their band camp listed above.
