Warmen – Here for None Review

No Salieri but a nice throwback to both Children of Bodom and Norther.

Expect group choruses, power metal drumming, and a lot of shredding leading to solos from both keys and guitar. Result is a record that borrows a lot from Bodom‘s I Worship Chaos (2015) or Norther records with Lindroos, specially Death Unlimited (2004). Songwriting is basically Bodom-ish given who the warmen are, and the production also tries to mimic those albums, successfully enhancing the energy of the songs.

The instrumental keyboard centered pieces are gone and also the clean and female colabs, making this a continuation to both COB and Norther rather than a side project. Maybe their time has passed but we’d love to listen to a follow-up.
