Currently gracing the magazine covers of Decibel (USA), Terrorizer (UK), Metalized (DK), Rock Hard (DE), Scream (NO), Sweden Rock (SE), Rock Tribune (BE), and Metallian (FR), WATAIN is poised to take over the metal world with their critically acclaimed new album. Amid the tracks teeming with the trio’s classic sound, the band’s fifth full-length also features clean vocals, Spanish guitars, and other musical experimentation, with the end result being “their most daring album yet” (Decibel Magazine). Read on for a few international reviews of The Wild Hunt:

“[WATAIN’s] most daring album yet” – DECIBEL

“The Wild Hunt is an impressive album that allows one of the scene’s stalwarts to put a new face on a familiar shadow” – METAL SUCKS

“Evil melodies, somewhere between DISSECTION and MAYHEM, the proverbial black fire and a high amount of individuality are mandatory on The Wild Hunt” – LEGACY

“The Wild Hunt embodies not only the most anticipated heavy record of the year, but also the most important album of WATAIN’s career” – METAL HAMMER

“Every single song is an explosive revolution” – TERRORIZER

“Exciting, vital music that grabs you by the soul” – KERRANG
