In addition, the gorgeous album cover hints at the ancient ENSLAVED demo a little more subtly, and even more so does the music. Norwegian - specifically Norwegian, not generalized Scandinavian - black and extreme metal of the early 90s had a decisive influence on R\u00dcNDGARD. The album has a flawless old-fashioned sound that you want to absorb to the last note. The riffs are also old and primitive, but well glued together. The guitars are constantly accompanied by a synthesizer, playing voluminous gloomy parts. The voice is mostly calm, growling. All this together brings back memories of early ENSLAVED and SATYRICON. The obvious difference is that the music lacks folk or \"Viking\" motives. Total darkness and the spirit of proper metal reign here. I didn't expect anything less from an album from Chile. \u201cStronghold of Majestic Ruins\u201d is an exemplary early Norwegian Black Metal worship, where the desired coincided with reality. Not as it usually happens, when someone is listening to DARKTHRONE and then emulates some fucking ARCTURUS.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 350px; height: 688px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2812444550\/size=large\/bgcol=333333\/linkcol=ffffff\/package=4201481143\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rundgard.bandcamp.com\/album\/stronghold-of-majestic-ruins\">Stronghold of Majestic Ruins by R\u00dcNDGARD<\/a><\/iframe><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u0413\u043e\u0434 \u0432\u044b\u0445\u043e\u0434\u0430: 2021 \u0418\u0437\u0434\u0430\u0442\u0435\u043b\u044c: Signal Rex (\u044d\u0442\u043e \u0438\u0437\u0434\u0430\u043d\u0438\u0435) \u041e\u0446\u0435\u043d\u043a\u0430: 8 \/ 10 \u041d\u043e\u0432\u044b\u0439 \u043f\u0440\u043e\u0435\u043a\u0442 \u043f\u043b\u043e\u0434\u043e\u0432\u0438\u0442\u043e\u0433\u043e \u0447\u0438\u043b\u0438\u0439\u0446\u0430 \u0438\u0437 13TH TEMPLE, \u043a\u043e\u043d\u0435\u0447\u043d\u043e, \u0434\u043e\u0432\u043e\u043b\u044c\u043d\u043e \u043d\u0430\u0433\u043b\u043e \u043f\u0440\u0438\u0432\u043b\u0435\u043a\u0430\u0435\u0442 \u043a \u0441\u0435\u0431\u0435 \u0432\u043d\u0438\u043c\u0430\u043d\u0438\u0435 \u043e\u0447\u0435\u0432\u0438\u0434\u043d\u044b\u043c\u0438 \u043f\u0430\u0440\u0430\u043b\u043b\u0435\u043b\u044f\u043c\u0438 \u0441 RUNDAGOR. \u041f\u043e\u043c\u0438\u043c\u043e \u0442\u043e\u0433\u043e, \u0432\u0435\u043b\u0438\u043a\u043e\u043b\u0435\u043f\u043d\u0430\u044f \u043e\u0431\u043b\u043e\u0436\u043a\u0430 \u0430\u043b\u044c\u0431\u043e\u043c\u0430 \u0447\u0443\u0442\u044c \u0431\u043e\u043b\u0435\u0435 \u043f\u0440\u043e\u0437\u0440\u0430\u0447\u043d\u043e \u043d\u0430\u043c\u0435\u043a\u0430\u0435\u0442 \u043d\u0430 \u0434\u0440\u0435\u0432\u043d\u0435\u0435 \u0434\u0435\u043c\u043e ENSLAVED, \u0430 \u0443\u0436 \u043c\u0443\u0437\u044b\u043a\u0430 \u0442\u0430\u043a \u0438 \u043f\u043e\u0434\u0430\u0432\u043d\u043e. \u041d\u043e\u0440\u0432\u0435\u0436\u0441\u043a\u0438\u0439 \u2013 \u0438\u043c\u0435\u043d\u043d\u043e \u043d\u043e\u0440\u0432\u0435\u0436\u0441\u043a\u0438\u0439, \u0430 \u043d\u0435&#8230;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2502,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2501","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-arch","wpcat-8-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bagnik-zine.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2501","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bagnik-zine.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bagnik-zine.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bagnik-zine.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bagnik-zine.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2501"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/bagnik-zine.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2501\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2503,"href":"https:\/\/bagnik-zine.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2501\/revisions\/2503"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bagnik-zine.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2502"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bagnik-zine.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2501"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bagnik-zine.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2501"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bagnik-zine.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2501"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
