Eastern Front is a quintet of black metal proponents from the UK. What they offer in Blood on Snow is a chapter of war tunes. You might expect some savage production here by virtue of the genre but this has to be one of the most well-produced releases with each & every instrument playing, clearly audible for scrutiny.
Music-wise, Eastern Front embraces an up-front, brash guitar assault, akin to the materials churned out by Endstille & Krieg, among others. The difference here would be the efforts by the band in making the riffs melodic & differentiated, audible in both left & right channels if you enjoy your music through headphones.
Despite a praise-worthy performance & certainly making Blood on Snow one of the better releases in 2010, what's inadequate here is a touch of class. In the attempt to be presentable, maybe the subconscious ingredient- a relentless, attacking element - could have been more up-front. Nevertheless, this is recommended listening.
