METSATÖLL

Finally some new work from the Estonian Metal heroes! Somehow I missed the first single, but this new single "Tõrrede Kõhtudes" ("In the Bellies of Barrels") now on Sound Cloud is really great!

Nice to hear what I think is a bouzouki but appears to be a traditional Estonian instrument (as opener), see it as a special Estonian harp. The start is almost medieval but fastly get mixed with raw metal. The guitars and drums nicely blend in with the rest and keeps it very interesting and smooth! I love the chorus and the fire within the song! Short and sharp, always a hit!

The song is about brewing beer, aha, this one must become a hit in Belgium and other beer drinking and brewing countries! Here's the quote: “Tõrrede kõhtudes” is dedicated to the making of a very important Estonian beverage. Metsatöll leaves it for the listeners to decide which beverage..."

I can't wait for the full album, not tomorrow, but today!

Here’s my interview with them, from last year:
