Wunjo - "Eternal Brotherhood" Demo 2010


WUNJO - "Eternal Brotherhood" (Demo 2010)
Pagan Black Metal - Italy

     This is the second release I've downloaded Today in order to review it for Elders' Sword, and I must admit I'm disapointed by my choice... and in the following lines I'll explain why.
     Wunjo is a duo from Ferrara, Italy with Bifrost Werewolf taking care of the vocals, synths and drums (drum programmings I guess) and Ashgath being in charge of guitars are a few backing vocals. "Eternal Brotherhood" is a 4 tracks debut demo released earlier this year by the two guys, and I'll start naming the bad points: the sound is too unpolished, sometimes it's really awful on vocals, especially when the background vocal appears; the drum programmings are too simple, almost no variations or changes, and they become anoying at some point; the guitar riffs are too repetitive (just take the second track "Immortal Pride" and you'll see it's the same thing from the beginning till the end). And the good things about this demo: the addition of a second vocalist (backing vox) is a good idea, it saves the music from being boring; also the main vocals are good, raspy and hoarse as they should be; the occasional keyboards work, although simple, adds a bit more dark atmosphere to the whole; the intro is great, I loved it. 
     The band has already released their debut EP this year having two labels as co-producers: Ogre Records and Eternal Winter Records, but beware, the EP is limited to 30 copies only. About this demo, I don't know if it's available for free download so I won't mention the link here.
