Defenders Of The Faith, le forum Metal

Somehow I doubt Vhöl would be into being tagged as a supergroup, but with a pedigree between them that includes YOB, Ludicra, Hammers of Misfortune, Worm Ouroboros, Agalloch and Amber Asylum, it just seems more efficient than saying “band with people who’ve played in other good bands.” Anyway you put it, the idea is much the same. By way of a confession, I still haven’t heard Vhöl‘s self-titled 2013 debut — was never sent one, even digitally, to review, and that kind of bummed me out — which as I understand it was something I genuinely missed out on, but I’ll see if I can’t correct that in time for the arrival of Deeper than Sky, their second album, on Oct. 23 through Profound Lore. Better late than never and all that.
