THE CHOSEN
Wolfcross
(Promo CD-R)
07:06min

Ok, this is a real short release, but it is a promo CD-R, so the length is not of any interest, what counts is the music this 7 minutes contain and I can come straight to the result and tell you THE CHOSEN are very good. They are the new main-band of NORTHGATE vocalist R.J. Nijholt, come from the Netherlands and play blackened Death / Thrash that reminds me of ABSU, SATHANAS or IMPALED NAZARENE. THE CHOSEN present themselves on “Wolfcross” in two own songs and a coverversion of ‘Killer Of Trolls’. Their own material is definitely better than their attempt at IMPALED NAZARENE’s classic song and convinces with a straight-forward drive, aggressive, hateful screams and a really great sound, that is both powerful and definitely full of old-school feeling!!! ‘Wolfcross’ and ‘Blood’, THE CHOSEN’s own songs, prove that these guys are talented songwriters with a faible for rousing straightness and raw ripping power!!! Hopefully THE CHOSEN get the chance to unleash their obvious qualities on a full-length LP or CD to make a name in a scene that can not get enough good, talented acts!!! For more information check out THE CHOSEN’s website www.the-chosen.nl or contact R.J. Nijholt per email: Stormer@northgate.nl Their mail address is: THE CHOSEN, Kremersheerd 61, 9737 PK Groningen, The Netherlands
