Well, such long time that I'd been waiting for 4 years. Nokturnal Mortum is still producing terrific stuff. Therefor it worth me to spend such time for waiting......and I have added this to my CD buy list.
Unlike their previous work: "Nechrist", that was really obviously a Nazism sense and quite shallow one. (But I like this album so much!) "The voice of steel" is better, but still you can find some ideas that inherited from "Nechrist". And in the guitars' performance, I think they have merged rock 'n roll solo and speed metal style's riff in their black metal sense. That is a creativity.
Some recording problems in "Nechrist" that has been solved in "The Voice of Steel". The guitar tones in "Nehrist" were always very loud, sometimes was going too crazy and made the whole song ending of a sudden. (When they played jam.) But in this album, bass guitar and keyboard are more important for holding the song not to be too crazy. Even if they still played jam in some of songs. This is another point that I like this album. Until I got this album, I am very eager to see their live concert.
The fourth song: "Україна (Ukraine)", that is quite different style from usual Nokturnal Mortum. Since the song sounds like "Speed metal" format. Well, That's cool.
My favorite songs are: Valkyrie, Моєї Мрії Острови (My Dream Islands) and White Tower.
Nokturnal Mortum's sense of Nazism is more advanced in this album; since the cover of CD and some titles of songs regarded to Nordic Mythology. There is one of thoughts in Nazism is "return to the faith of ancient Germanic myth".( which are Nordic Mythology and Rune) That's the reason that I think NM is still so NSBM.
