Nightshade’s only album Wielding The Scythe is one of melodic death metals most underrated gems. The 1990s had a lot of melodic death metal that sounded exactly identical to each other. But Nightshade stood out with their dynamic, chilling and catchy death metal music. The variety of tracks here is perfect; they display many different types of guitar work, drumming and atmospheres. Most songs have a pulsing and rhythmic flow, catchy riffs, soothing melodies and powerful vocals. Exile for example is a fast track; Moonlight In Chaos Shone has a mellow pace while Sanctum is a slow moving song. Dodens Vik/Natthymn has Swedish lyrics by the way, also a great song. The only thing that drags in this album is the one-dimensional vocals; the rest of the album is flawless. Highly recommend for melodic death metal fans.
