Norther Album: “Dreams of Endless War”

This is one of my favourite cds that i have of death, speed metal, and i must tell you i was a fan of CHILDREN OF BODOM, still am but these guys soar on top, VERY VERY FAST and catchy guitar riffs, great rythem and awsome vocalist better than c.o.b i must say these guys are very talented for it being their debut album, they deserve a try and a risk for the $$$

i mean if you like C.O.B you will LOVE these guys, take a shot like i did, their awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This cd rocks, yes, what people say may be true about them sounding like children of bodom, yet to me norther seems less cheesier more serious sound. i would like to compare to kalmah, but even they are yet more rough.

all great bands i'll never take that away from any of them... but this norther album is my favorite along with the "death unlimited" simply awesome, pretty quick and flows well with the keyboard solos with guitar solos and rhythms as a whole and drums throughout the cd...keyboard playing is inmense i feel i like norther better than bodom in my opinion...kalmah is first though.

i love the story line this album follows too, all songs seem to connect and as you listen and understand the lyrics the music flows through you its just a great album oh and the voice is just as great too....perfect work. Try them out id start with this particular album and Death unlimited too you wont be dissapointed.............

Dreams of Endless War is the first album from Norther, and to some extent I think their inexperience shows through on this album, more so than on any of the three that would follow. They are often labeled a Children of Bodom copycat and, while I don't think this is true, their sound is the most "Bodom-like" on this album, without a doubt. The intro to "Endless War," for example, sounds very much like something Bodom might have featured on an album. As I've never been a big power metal fan, this album tends to be my least favorite, from Norther, as it features the most prevalent synthesizer playing of all their albums (again, in Bodom fashion), which tends to be common in a lot of Scandinavian power metal. Despite this fact, this album is still a fierce offering of melodic death metal, tinged with power metal. Vocals are very well done, which is one area where I always felt that Norther was clearly Bodom's superior, and guitar work is tight. A strong debut, and one they would improve on.
