Fisherman's Death is a viking-esque
melodic death metal band very much in the vein of Amon Amarth, but
with more of a pirate feel. Their song Davy Jones Locker is
essentially what would happen if Amon Amarth decided to be pirates
for a day. I find this to actually be kind of amazing and to have a
lot of flavor. The guitar parts are powerful and filled with lots of
cool folky melodies. I really like the way they fit under the choral
parts. It adds a lot of depth and might to the music. Meanwhile the
bass work is rather heavy and really shines on some of the
destructive rhythm attacks. Speaking of which, this bands drummer has
the double bass charge down. He can continue his attack for minutes
on end while adding some pretty cool fills on top. He is exactly what
a folk metal drummer should be, capable of everything, including
ridiculous amounts of double bass. The growls are vicious and have a
lot of that brutal death metal might to them that makes bands like
Skyforger so cool. They add a true viking layer and carry you back to
a manlier time. The singers growls are really wonderful and well
enunciated. The lyrics are actually rather easy to understand!
Overall, Fisherman's Death is an awesome folk metal band with a sound
that is hard to forget. So go check them out!
