Netherfell – Mokosz (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)

The band’s first music video:

Genre: Folk Metal. Encyclopedia Metallum also says that this band plays Melodic Death, my interpretation is that they are more of a Folk Metal band, but maybe I haven’t heard enough of their material.

Themes: Pagan Gods, Kings, War, Nature

Country of Origin: Poland

This video is definitely a good start for a band’s first official music video. They successfully blend together traditional instruments like the bagpipes, tin whistle and violin with guitars, bass and drums. They are obviously highly influenced by Arkona, especially with vocals. The female singer of this band, Adrianna Zborowska has a particularly powerful and enchanting voice. My only criticism is that I don’t think the female and male vocals are  as in sync with each other as they could be. I know that doing the whole pretty melodic vocals with harsh growls is a very difficult thing to get just right, and honestly the only song that I feel has this dynamic perfectly is Dark Tranquility’s The Mundane and the Magic .

And of course the imagery of the video itself was beautiful –  forest, ritual, ancient pagan garb and all.

Keep up the good work Netherfell!
