Kromheim EP by Kromheim

''Polish multi-instrumentalist Mikołaj Popławski has put a one-man project this year called Kromheim. What he has accomplished here is pretty amazing. Amazing in the way of pretty much every aspect of this four track EP. The melodic death metal Mikolaj has put forth here can easily rank right up there with the genre’s greats. The sounds and styling is reminescent to Amon Amarth, Dark Tranquility, Insomnium, and Amorphis. Yes, it is just about that good. Or might I say, just as good. This is a band/project to definitely keep an eye out for. I’ve really been digging this one lately.'' (www.metal-rules.com)

''If you like Amon Amarth & Dark Tranquillity to name a few, you gonna really like this. As a matter of fact this is probably the third time I’ve listened to this in rapid succession today alone since receiving a copy, so if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to sail the seven seas in search of treasure and riches, or at least head down to the shops and confront the hordes in front of the chocolate counter. A place by Odin in Valhalla is on the line!'' (www.themetalwanderlust.com)

''Schade, dass es nur vier Songs sind denn Ideen für ein Album in voller Länger gibt es genug. Die Stimmungs- und Dynamikwechsel z.B. zwischen schweren Riffs und fließenden Melodien haben mir ebenso gut gefallen, wie die Variabilität des Drummings. Allein die Vocals hätte ich mir an einigen Stellen differenzierter gewünscht. Doch das gleichen die abwechslungsreichen Soli wieder aus. So verpackt höre ich mir gerne eine weitere Wikinger-Geschichte an.'' (www.metal-heads.de)

''Solo endeavors of heavy stripe aren’t thin on the ground nowadays, but as far as multi-instrumentalists’ efforts go they rarely display high quality. This album, helmed and performed by Mikołaj Popławski, does, and his debut as KROMHEIM (...) can be a start of something much larger than the result of Covid-induced lockdown. It’s only four songs, yet the set-up has a palpable potential.'' (www.dmme.net)
