Vallenfyre - Splinters (2014)
Century Media
Review by Trevor Proctor
Vallenfyre
was initially formed as a side-project by Gregor Mackintosh who is the main
song writer and lead guitar player for established British group Paradise Lost
- when forming the band Mackintosh also became “frontman” and began lead vocals
for the first time in his lengthy career along with lead guitar. The term supergroup
has been used much too loosely in recent years but when we consider the
pedigree of Vallenfyre’s members it’s a term that’s 100% accurate - the rest of
the group consists of Hamish Glencross from My Dying Bride on rhythm and lead guitars,
Scoot from Doom and Extinction of Mankind on bass and Adrian Erlandsson from At
the Gates, Paradise Lost and The Haunted on drums.
