Press

“On the whole, if you liked Venom's "Black Metal" or Bathory's "Hammerheart", you would absolutely love this album. Countess is every bit as integral to the history of black metal as those guys. If you only like polished, modern sounding extreme metal, you're not going to dig this.”

— Raise Thy Horns

“Countess are among the last defenders of original black metal sound. I don't know how many of you still remember the old Venom and Bathory sound, but nowadays, black metal is very different from its original inception. Countess, preserve the heavy metal edge of black metal, preached by Venom and Bathory. "I Am The Infidel" is one of the best war anthems I've heard in the last decade! ”

— Ciprian Faur, Metal Believe

“Burning Scripture continues in the certain vein of mixing traditional heavy metal elements into Bathory inspired black metal. All in all Burning Scripture is a great album - I can’t find a moment when I wouldn’t enjoy it.”

— Vehemency, Metal Music Archives

“Of course, I couldn't conclude this review without mentioning the monumental epic of a finale, Schemering Der Goden, a 14-minute monster of a track, which easily ranks up there with past epics like "All The Master's Children"and "The Wrath Of Satan's Whore", crushing all in its path with its storming metallic purity. It's songs like these that truly elevate Countess to the upper echolon of black metal's finest. Well, that and the fact that absolutely no one sounds like them, nor does it seem to possible for any band to even attempt to replicate their unique sound.”

— Chaossphere, The Metal Crypt

“Holocaust of the God Believers has a lot more variety than Spawn of Steel did. Every single song has something different in it, and after tons of spins I'm still finding new things to like about it. If you already like this band, there's no excuse for not getting this. If you haven't heard Countess yet, this is a very good place to start. Highest recommendations. ”

— Vorfeed, Vorfeed.net

“Countess heeft een eigen niche binnen de black metal gevonden: rauwe, maar melodieuze muziek, oprecht teruggrijpend op zowel oude black metal als heavy metal.Voor mensen die nog niet bekend zijn met Countess: reken je zowel Iron Maiden en Manowar, maar ook Bathory en Nifelheim tot je favorieten? Dan kun je niet om deze band heen. Oprechte metal met hoofdletter ‘M’.”

— Rik, Metalfan.nl

“The album has so many grandiose choruses, blazing solos and sweeping melodies that you can’t help but look around for your sword and shield and say “fuck it, let’s kill some Romans!” On Wings of Defiance an album for those like the metal in their black metal. Countess’s gallant style owes as much to Manowar and Manilla Road as it does to Bathory and Venom.”

— Jael, Deaf Sparrow
