A review by

In fact, the three songs of the Demo are really different, the first one "The Tyrant" sounds a bit like Finntroll with some symphonic female (and of course grunts too) vocals when the second song "Burden" is more in the vein of a Folky Nigthwish. It's not bad at all and we can see that the band still plays the same kind of Metal but obviously the new members came with their own influences too (especially Jenni Onishko who really sings like Tarja of Nightwish).
On the other hand, even if the production of the demo is really nice, I have to say that the voice of Jenni is not really convincing. It's not really easy to sing with a "symphonic" voice and sometime she is even a bit out of tune? It's not horrible but she will have to work a bit on her voice if she really want to become convincing.
"The New Chapter" gives some information about the future of Kivimetsän Druidi and it could be a great future if they find the way to find some little mistakes like the voice or like the lack of personality in the compositions sometime. But it's promising however and I believe that the band will be able to continue its career without a lot of problem and why not to release a first album soon. That's your next goal dudes!

I really like this band, pick of the folk crop. I especially love those growls in the first track, he sounds like the guy in a death group from my city. The songs here though have slightly too much pointless meandering so they don't seem as strong as Pedon Loitsu...

Heh, their line-up has really changed since the times I've known the band. Their drummer and the other keyboard player have also left. I got known to KmD by one free-mp3-site where the most of Finnish demobands put their mp3's. Then I met their keyboard player, the one who left.. I look forward to see what they'll bring later on!

I first heard these guys through the MS compilation, ages and ages ago. Good to know they're still around and releasing quality material.
