Press

“Plenty of fire and intensity”

— Brendon Crabb, Drum Media

“Clad in their battle attire and war paint, Bane Of Isildur took to the stage with a commanding presence, kicking straight into their blend of triumphant war metal”

— Cryptor, MetalObsession.net

“They received a huge reception from a nearly packed floor ravenous for a barrage of their war metal stylings, making a huge mosh pit while pumping their fists in the air with pride.”

— Sam Radojcin, Loud Online

"refined, solid slab of Nordic death metal glory"

— Jesse Quintal, Aussie Metal Reviews

"Every song makes you raise your fist in the air as if you were charging in an epic battle."

— Matthew Bell, AusFolk

"It's all well put together and the melodies add that epic touch"

— Brian Fischer-Giffin, Loud

"Anyone who has seen Bane of Isildur live knows they are one hell of a convincing act."

— Chris Maric, Drum Media

"'Black Wings' is simply a great album, and one that shows that not every album of this nature needs to be some brainless ale-drenched ode to trolls, fairies and other assorted shite."

— Neil, The Metal Observer

"Opening the event was Sydney’s Bane of Isildur. Playing folk inspired black metal, this quartet brings forth furious blasts, accentuated with technical and brilliant melodic motifs. Covered in war paint, their stage presence is that of strength, and as always giving a tight set the four-piece enticed the crowd who moved toward the stage observing the command before them."

— Anna, Voltage Media

“The vocals, the costumes, the performance, the music, the energy... Everything just suited the feel of the night ”

— last.fm

“The sweeping melodic guitar melodies and chugging death metal rhythm passages form the hooks in each individual song and keeps me continually interested in the band.”

— Brendan Amos, Metal Obsession
