Swedish melodic black/death metallers Netherbird will release on 7th April a compilation album entitled Hymns From Realms Yonder, which features rarities and covers from their 13 year long journey. Beside their black/death metal sound, the band which released their latest album, The Grander Voyage, in October last year, also brings in influences from doom, gothic and other styles of extreme music. The core of their sound can be compared to the classic bands from the mid-90s, such as Unanimated, Naglfar and Dissection, with their personal influences amalgamated into the mix. Since 2004 they have released a series of well-received albums featuring a rotating line-up of renowned musicians (At The Gates, Katatonia, Lord Belial, Dissection,...).
A broad retrospective collection album of all rarities, covers and non-album tracks throughout Netherbird history, Hymns From Realms Yonder is a must-have for every collector. Tunes that were once available as digital releases only have now been gathered into one CD summarizing the band's creative journey through the first decade of its existence. Written and recorded during different session and lineups, these songs present a staggering sonic rollercoaster when it comes to their sound, tone and atmosphere, at the same time remaining recognizable and keeping all the distinctive elements that made Netherbird who they are today.
Original tunes (single b-sides as well as limited EP's material) are neighboured by several cover versions of renowned classics of metal and obscure alternative, including Annihilator, Paradise Lost and Sentenced. Vika Yermolyeva's masterpiece piano rendition of "Pillars Of The Sky" is definitely a rare gem to crown the album. In the player below you can listen to the Netherbird's cover of Annihilator's classic metal anthem "Alison Hell". Link
