Harm Wulf/There's Honey In The Soil We Wait For The Till/Deathwish/2013 CD Review


  Harm  Wulf  are  a  1  man  band  from  Pennsylvania  that  plays  a mixture  of  rock,  folk  and  experimental  with  a  touch  of  hardcore  and  this  is  a  review  of  his  2013  album  "There's  Honey  In  The  Soil  We  Wait  For  The  Till"  which  was  released  by  Deathwish  Records.

  "Oldfur"  begins  with  some  soft  acoustic  guitar  playing  that  combine  folk  and  rock  together  which  leads  up  to  some  dark  and  melodic  sounding  vocals  and  the  song  closes  with  some  spoken  word  parts.

  "Silk  Soul"  begins with  some  heavy guitar  distortion  and  acoustic  guitars  which  lead  up  to  the  vocals  and  you  can  also  hear  some  percussion's  being  utilized  in  the  song  and  there  are  all  some  female  vocals  in  certain  sections  of  the  song.

  "Astral  Oblivion"  begins  with  some  tribal  style  percussion  before  the  acoustic  guitars  come  in  along  with  some  male  and  female  vocals.

  "When  Old  Becomes  New"  begins  with  some  soft  acoustic  guitar  playing  and  then  some  whispered  vocals  start  coming  into  the  song  and  towards  the end  their  is  a  brief  use  of  synths  and  spoken  word  samples.

  "More  Weight"  begins  with  some  acoustic  guitars  that  are  very  dark  sounding  along  with  some  melodic  clean  singing  vocals  and  then  percussion's  and  distorted  noises  start  making  their  way  into  the  song.

  "Spectrum  Blues"  begins  with  some  dark  sounding  acoustic  guitars  and  vocals  and  you  can  hear  some  different  sounds  being  utilized  in  the   background.

  "We  Hold  Empty  Names"  begins  with  some  acoustic  guitars  that  utilize  both  finger  picking  and  full chords  which  also  leads  up  to  some  vocals  and  the  song  is  long  and  epic  in  length.

  "Bonepicker"  begins  with  some acoustic  guitars  that  utilize  finger  picking  and  then  the  melodic  vocals  make  their  way  into  the  song  and  after  awhile t he  guitars  start  utilizing  some  full  chords.

  "Theres  Honey  In  The  Soul  So  We  Wait   For  The  Till  ("  begins  with  some  acoustic  guitar  that utilize  some  finger  picking  and  then  the  vocals  start  coming in  along  with  some  dark  sounds  being  utilized  in  the  background  and  after  awhile  full  chords  are  added  into  the  guitars  along with  some  drum  beats  and  towards  the  end  distorted  guitar  effects  are  added  in  and  the  song  closes  with  spoken  word  parts.

  Song  lyrics  cover  dark  and  metaphysical  themes,  while  the production  has  a  very  strong,  powerful,  and  dark  sound  to  it.

  In  my  opinion  Harm  Wulf  are  a  very  great  sounding  hybrid  of  rock, folk  and  experimental  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  this  genre.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Oldfur"  "Astral  Oblivion"  "We  Hold  Empty  Names"  and  "Theres  Honey  In  The  Soul  So  We  Wait   For  The  Till  (".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
