The Swiss band Pertness is a recent serendipitous discovery of mine. From the album art you might be forgiven for thinking they were a light-in-the-pants keyboard-laden flower metal band, but actually they sport a blend of power, heavy, melodeath, Viking and folk metal which is unrelenting in its sheer power, and a vocalist who reminds me somewhat of Joakim Brodén of Sabaton. They mostly tend to stick to fantastic, epic and folksy themes, but their last album, From the Beginning to the End (2010), features some social critique and environmental concern as well. Their next album, Frozen Time, should be coming out later this year; I am certainly looking forward to it. Enjoy, folks!
