Scald from Yarsoslavl in Russia were formed by bassist Velignor in the second half of 1993. A year later their first proper demo tape »North Winds« was recorded. However, it was their cassette album under the original title of »Will Of Gods Is A Great Power«, released in October 1997 on MetalAgen (one of the biggest labels in Russia at the time), that made them an underground cult name in international doom circles. At this point in time their charismatic singer Agyl was already dead (he was tragically killed in a train accident on September 6th 1997), and the band as such didn’t exist anymore.
24 years later, in 2021, High Roller Records issued the ultimate edition of the album under the new title of »Will Of The Gods Is Great Power«. As a result, Scald were gaining battalions of new fans and went on to achieve a whole new level of popularity.
After a one-off live appearance at the Hammer Of Doom festival in 2019 and a 7” single called »There Flies Our Wail!« on High Roller in 2021, Scald are back for good with a brand new studio album aptly christened »Ancient Doom Metal«. It was recorded by the four original Scald members Velingor (bass), Harald (guitars), Karry (guitars), Ottar (drums and percussion) plus Felipe Plaza Kutzbach (known for his work with Procession and Capilla Ardiente) on vocals.
Bassist Velingor indeed sees a direct spiritual connection between Scalds original debut album »Will Of The Gods Is Great Power« and their brand new offering: “Despite the fact that the first Scald album was composed and recorded back in the 90s, and »Ancient Doom Metal« was created during last three years, they are worked in the same style. Both albums are filled with the same atmosphere - that of the north, of ancient Scandinavia and Russia. In both cases the music and lyrics are based on mythology and mysticism of these regions. Of course, now we have become much more experienced musically than in the 90s, but we tried to keep the epic vibe of northern cold vastness, the very same we managed to create back then. And it is very important that Felipe feels and expresses it as well as we do.”
“As for the lyrics in general”, he continues, “it was me who was responsible for the basic ideas. I found inspiration in ancient Scandinavian, Slavic and Finno-Ugric legends (after all, our entire Yaroslavl homeland in ancient times was a crossroads of all these cultures), and used some scientific articles on the subject.”

What a nice surprise.
A worthy successor to WOTGIGP, wow.
Felipe does a great job,
though Agyl had a 1 in a 1000000 voice,
I wonder what he would have sounded like today.
And that scream at the end... yessss!!! :)
A blood red star
It shone amidst the clouds
As the sea swelled
The mighty storm tore our sails apart
We set them free
And they flittered away
The fateful birds of the north
Our dragon ship is back
Unbroken through the raging waves...
The open sea is dark and dangerous
Still couldn't stop our hungry hearts
This is our fate
A crack of thunder is the strongest sign
Let us sing at once
I saw an ancient omen
I heard the voice of truth calling my name
We are sworn to the ancient soul of doom metal
Yes we are going under by the righful curse of gods...
But we are prepared to enter the hall
Enter the hall of the great ones
As the symbols revealed in front of me
Two ravens flew in opposite directions
Entangled between them
Was the knot of the slain warrior-kings
Snake-shaped were the arrows
Entwined rings in their midst
Growing strong night by night
I saw an oldest omen
A thousand words of truth screaming my name
I are sworn to the ancient sword of doom metal
As we are going under by the righful curse of the gods
Yes, we are prepared to leave it all behind
And enter the hall of the great ones
Let these words fly high
Let our bodies become the wind
Let them be lifted by the flying maidens
And taken to the resplendent hall
Worthy of Agyl's legacy!! at 05:15 it sounds like a sample was put in of Agyl actually singing?
Great, Great, Great, Great!!!!!!!

Good news, but this song sounds very "overproduced".
I personally think it sounds quite good. It doesn't quite have that ancient, primitive sound of the debut. Rather, it has a larger, more powerful and rich sound. It's a different kind of epic than the debut, but still really powerful sounding to me. I don't really see it as being overproduced.
@@blakeprocter5818 Anyway, it's cool. I mean that the first one sounded really "mystical" and underground)
