Mindview review:

NATAN
Het Zicht Van De Dood
Iron Age Records

Naar deze release heeft de hele Vlaamse scene reikhalzend uitgekeken. Het debuut van Vlaanderens nummer één black/pagan metalband. En ze stellen alvast niet teleur. Goede composities, veel variatie en interessante melodielijnen, ondersteund door een stevige bas- en drum-basis. Viool en keyboards zorgen voor het folk-effect, maar in beperkte mate zodat de kracht van de nummers behouden blijft. Ex-keyboardiste Claudia is nog te horen als gastzangeres in “Velden Van Bloed”, want tevens het opvallendste nummer van de plaat is. De eer van het vaderland is weer veilig gesteld voor een tijdje. (QM) GOUD (6/7)

ligtie in de Metalzones?

Normaalgezien wel. En anders is het zeker te bestellen in de Metalzones.

Face Your Underground(FYU - deathmetal.be) review:

NATAN – HET ZICHT VAN DE DOOD
Iron age records – Iron006

A new label is born! Iron age records are residing in London and they have decided to send a big promo pack our way.
Nearly all releases of the newborn have been delivered at my address and I must say that I’m very thrilled with that.
The band I was expecting the most was Natan, and with their first full-length Het zicht van de dood they have fulfilled my wildest dreams. After so many line-up changes Natan still lives on and once again Belgium has produced a successful black metal band. Along with THEUDHO they wave the pagan black metal flag and because of the occasional keyboard and folk instruments they can claim the title of being one of the best bands on Iron age records.

When a band can produce a debut cd that has over 5 songs that I can recommend to anyone, then u can call this release a great success. Volkskracht brings silence and aggression at the same time, Velden van bloed acquaints us with Claudia’s beautiful voice (what a shame she left), De hoge moves people with the violin, In het zicht van de dood is sheer black metal violence and Doodsfeest is a 17 minutes finish that left me wanting even more.
The two setbacks from this release are the fact that the 17 minutes finish contains only 5 minutes of actual music and the dwarfish font of the artwork and booklet.

If this level of musicianship in black metal (along with such bands as THEUDHO and GORATH) is representative for Belgium, then Belgium is going to be the Norway of melodic black metal.
I would recommend this full-length to anyone who likes atmospheric black/pagan metal or to anyone who is into DISSECTION or HEIDEVOLK for instance.

Natan – het zicht van de dood
Iron Age Records

I live in the same area of the world as Natan and thus was already familiar with this band. I even have some good friends that are ex members of this band. So I have heard and seen this band before. But nothing I heard or saw previously could prepare me for how awesome this record is. On "Het zicht van de dood" Natan did succeed in creating an actual dark, haunting, melancholic atmosphere. They accomplished this with good complex songwriting, aggressive yet melodic guitar riffs, good aggressive drumming and adding just enough flavor to their black metal to spice things up. They also managed to avoid the trap of using too much classical of folk influences. And while they do use violins, keyboards and female singing (velden van bloed) ; they use those ingredients to add more depth and atmosphere and never in a way that in gets in the way of the aggression and dark vibe they try to convey here.

The lyrics are all in Dutch and seem to deal (as far as I can hear/understand them) with cultural identity, repression and stuff like that. On this release Natan reminds me a bit of Keep of kalessin (the use of acoustic guitars, violins to add dynamics to the music) or even a modern sounding version of Bathory (without the horrible clean singing that is)

Lords Of Metal (NL):
Natan - Het Zicht Van De Dood

Iron Age Records

file under Black metal

Roel F.: After having been internationally active for approximately six years, Natan's full-length debut, 'Het Zicht Van De Dood,' sees the light of day. Natan plays hard-hitting pagan black metal with a slight folk metal influence. Although the key element is fast and heavy savagery, ample room has been left for melodic pieces, structured from violin, acoustic guitars and female vocals, that rightly, and above all, timely, off-set the aggression and looming repetition.

Generally speaking, the record embodies dark, thought-through and, as mentioned above, melodious black metal supported by an unobtrusive use of a keyboard. The lead guitarist knows what he is doing, as does the whole band, as a matter of fact: together they have placed enough accents here and there to keep things interesting. This is a fresh-sounding record, and therefore, a listening session is warranted.
Rating: 73/100

Voices From The Dark Side review:
Natan - Het Zicht Van De Dood
(Iron Age Records)
66:06min

Passion is something which can be identified not only by the music itself but also, even if it had become seldom in these days, through the overall presentation of the release. In the case of the debut of the Belgium Black Metal horde NATAN the plain but nevertheless very impressive digipack is the proof that the understanding of the word Black Metal art has not to stop after leaving the recording studio. Musically “Het Zicht Van De Dood” is a great debut and it’s very difficult to mention all the different influences which had been summarized by the six members into a solid piece of Pagan / Black Metal steel. NATAN had been founded in 2001 and the band is in the position to keep their music very melodic even if they are operating in higher aggressive levels. The influences are raging from WINDIR, early ENSLAVED and especially when the band is slowing down to more dark camp fire atmosphere to bands like AGALLOCH or even early ULVER. What makes this album so fantastic is the convincing feeling that the band members are not jumping onto the driving train but that a deep feeling inside them is the driving force. “Het Zicht Van De Dood” is like a wild northern storm with 'Mijn Lot' - an instrumental as the calm eye of the tornado and NATAN is without doubt one of the real highlights of the Metal year 2008. This debut is the proof that not all hope and essence has completely faded over the years. www.natanhorde.be www.ironagerecords.com

Metal Sound(SR review:
HET ZICHT VAN DE DOOD
NATAN
Iron Age CD

Uh…these almighty Belgians are really awesome! I have already learned that Iron Age Records delivers only fantastic efforts and promising new bands. Their musical style could be simply described as melodic black metal mixed with great folk influences. From time to time you can hear many real-played instruments, few female vocal-lines (a jewel of this record) and there are even some parts with only acoustic instruments. The atmosphere is also beyond words. It’s somehow rawer, just as it is the case with some black metal acts, but music remains still melodic. Het Zicht van de Dood could be very fast and furious but also it could slow down in a moment and become folk-ambient so this is specific for Natan, a matter that separates this Belgian group from others like them. I found that it’s very good because they are singing in their mother tongue and using some folk instruments. Due to this fact Het Zicht van de Dood sounds absolutely impressive and exotic in a way. As I added before, the production isn’t so polished, it’s rather a raw sound with some keyboard lines on a top. Well, keys are more following harmonies. The release comes in a nice digi-pack edition. I haven’t had any chance to hear them before, but this record got my full attention. I will look forward to finding any other release from Natan and present it to you by reviewing it on Metal Sound’s pages.

Hier nog een review, deze keer in't Duits:

metal.de review:
NATAN - Het Zicht Van De Dood Black Metal
Label/Kontakt: Iron Age Records
9 Songs (61:42)
Webseite: www.natanhorde.be/

Ein wenig länger dabei sind sie schon. Trotzdem ist dies der erste Longplayer von NATAN. Es gab schon 2 Demos und eine EP, mit denen sie auf sich aufmerksam machen konnten, und bei manchen Underground-Kennern Apettit auf mehr weckten. Klar gibt es Gruppen die melodischen Black Metal spielen wie Sand am Meer. Auch solche die ihren Sound noch zusätzlich mit Pagan-Einflüssen garnieren, gibt es zu Genüge. Bands, die dazu noch mit gelegentlichen Folk-Einschüben jonglieren, werden wir auch an jeder Ecke finden. Dennoch ist die Darbietung hier ein wenig anders, ohne großartig anders zu sein. Man kann auch einen Eintopf mit bekannten Zutaten zubereiten, und er schmeckt trotzdem, weil man die Garzeiten anders gelegt hat, vielleicht ein anderes Gewürz beigemischt wurde, oder was auch immer. Und das machen halt NATAN.

Deja-Vu Erlebnisse im Bezug auf skandinavischen Black Metal erlebt man hier zuhauf. "Het Zicht Van De Dood" erinnert des Öfteren an Klassiker von SATYRICON, EMPEROR, ENSLAVED, oder wie sie alle heißen. Dennoch wird man hier gut unterhalten. Das Zauberwort heißt Songwriting, und davon verstehen die Belgier anscheinend nicht gerade wenig. Auch die gepagante und folkige Passagen klingen nicht so kitschig und albern wie so oft in der Branche. Auch von guten, gediegenen und melodischen Soli nimmt man auf "Het Zicht Van De Dod" keineswegs Abstand, wie beispielsweise zum Ende des Openers.

Die Namen der Stücke bringen natürlich einen zur Schlussfolgerung, dass NATAN in eigener Heimatsprache singen. Dabei versteht man lediglich, dass die Sprache germanischen Ursprungs ist, und nicht die vertraute englische, viel mehr aber auch nicht. Es ist halt schwer manche BM-Keifer sogar in der eigenen Heimatsprache zu verstehen, von fremden ganz zu schweigen. Es ist aber in der Tat das Einzige, was an NATAN besonders originell ist. Und trotzdem zündet das Material größtenteils.

Hier wird zwar das Rad nicht neu erfunden, höchstens die Radkappen etwas aufpoliert, und mit glänzenden Alufelgen aufgemotzt. Ich bin mir aber sicher, dass diese Scheibe, falls sie bei einem großen Label raus gekommen wäre, einen regen Zuspruch gefunden hätte. Es sind unzählige größere Bands im BM-Bereich bekannt, die in die gleiche Kerbe hauen wie NATAN, die zwar nicht dieses Level erreichen, und sich trotzdem wie warme Semmeln verkaufen. Eine Mixtur aus Black Metal und paar artverwandten Einflüssen zählt halt immer noch zu den absoluten Trendsportarten im Metalbereich. Und NATAN zählen zu den besseren die auf dieser Welle mitschwimmen.


Punkte: 8/10
