  [Metal-Temple.com] Runemagick - On Funeral Wings (Review)
Runemagick - On Funeral WingsRunemagick - On Funeral Wings
Runemagick plays great old-fashioned slow doomy Death Metal from the late eighties and early nineties.
In 1997 Runemagick resurrected, Nicklas decided to find new members and continue making new songs and keep ‘alive’ old tapes which he had kept in his cellar for 4 years.

 Runemagick - Requiem Of The Apocalypse - review @ Tartareandesire.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Runemagick is one of the bands who have dared to defy the trend and focus on the darker side of death metal.
The kind of death metal that Runemagick is playing is mid-paced and kind of doomy but sometimes some Slayer-like riffs can be heard as well.
Last year the band parted ways with their former label Century Media but luckily the Norwegian label Aftermath Music realized the potential that lies within the band and I'm glad to see that this kind of music is still supported by at least some people.

 Metal Invader ( Runemagick - On Funeral Wings ) Review.
Runemagick were created in 1990 and the first month existed as a one-man band only, project of Nicklas “Terror” Rudolfsson.
In 2003 their second guitarist decides to leave the band for personal reasons and since then Runemagick continue their progress into the musical path as a three-piece line-up.
But on the other hand we can’t escape the feeling that Runemagick have settled in one certain style of music with no apparent surprises in the synthesis of their songs.

The one-record-a-year band, Runemagick, return again in 2004 with another funeral doom record that may be their most accomplished record to date.
Runemagick operate at three speeds: slow, very slow, and torturously slow.
Runemagick are still as consistent as ever in regards to their interpretation of funeral doom, but as with most consistent bands evolution will always be a problem.

 Sonos Metallicos - Arvostelu: Runemagick - Envenom   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Vaikkei Runemagick ole koskaan noussut varsinaisien suosikkieni joukkoon perinteisempää ja modernimpaa doomia yhdistelevien bändien joukosta, oli yhtyeen edellinen kokopitkä Darkness Death Doom monella tapaa melkoisen napakka suoritus.
Runemagick ei ole lähestynyt kuulijakuntaansa suurella äänellä uudella albumillaan, mille voi löytyä monia syitä.
Näin ollen Runemagick ottaa selkeää takapakkia muutamaan aiempaan albumiinsa nähden niin tyylillisesti kuin musiikin tasonkin kannalta, joten katseet kääntykööt kohti tulevaa, jos vaikka yhtye ottaisi itseään niskasta kiinni ja tuottaisi eheämmän albumin tyylistä riippumatta.

This album clocks in at a lengthy 62 minutes with 13 songs (three instrumentals), and thus means only the hardened death metal fan will be able to stick with it, as the meandering pace does get a little, repetitive, but does have enough highlights to warrant the skip button if necessary.
Runemagick seem to flirt with extra elements as shown by the rare but very well placed use of church organs and a Hammond here and there, that in the middle of the completely Neanderthal music, do break the monotony, and display Runemagick have some original ideas in there somewhere.
Runemagick is neither, and along with bands like Fleshcrawl and Vomitory (who believe me are still waaaay, faster), show that death metal doesn't have to be either mind-altering or blast happy to be good.

 The Metal Crypt - Reviews
True, I found last years "On Funeral Wings" a bit of a letdown, but "Envenom" is another excellent Runemagick CD that easily gains back what little they lost.
Now Runemagick have always been doomy, but this is the doomiest they have ever been.
Runemagick always stay within the bounds of their chosen style, but they always try something new within those bounds, and for such a prolific band to keep challenging themselves is a real achievement, not to mention a treat to hear.

Eerlijk gezegd verwachtte ik niet dat Runemagick met een beter album zou komen en nu ik "On Funeral Wings" een paar dagen in huis heb, blijkt dat mijn verwachtingen terecht waren.
Runemagick lijkt wel ergens een geheime fabriek te hebben waar de hele dag niets anders dan vette riffs geproduceerd worden.
Nummers als "Rise of the 2nd Moon", "On Funeral Wings" en "In a Darkened Tomb" komen als vanouds lekker bulderend uit de speakers zetten en de productie is wederom zeer krachtig.

 metal.de - CD-Review: Runemagick - Resurrection in Blood
Runemagick bleiben auch mit ihrem dritten Release "Resurrection in Blood" ihren Wurzeln treu und beschreiten unbehelligt irgendwelchen Trends ihren Weg.
Für "Resurrection in Blood´s" Death Metal Hymnen tauchte Runemagick Mastermind Nicklas Rudolfsson (ebenso Teil von Sacramentum, Swordmaster und Deathwitch) wieder einmal ab in seine tiefsten Abgründe.
Runemagick´s Neue "Resurrection in Blood" ist dafür die passende Alternative.

 Deadtide.com : Reviews : Albums : Runemagick, "Requiem of the Apocalypse"
Runemagick play classic death metal with a touch of synths, a'la Edge of Sanity, old Hypocrisy, Samael, Asphyx and Amorphis, with some Bolt Thrower thrown in now and again, just to keep things moving.
Spinning together atmospheric, doomy, death riffs with some demented melodic touches [see 3:15 4:19 of Beyond Life], a no-nonsense approach to ensemble orchestration, and a massive production results in crushing death metal with enough creepy atmosphere to keep you riveted for the entire 62 minute spin.
I liked Runemagick's last album a lot, and Requiem of the Apocalypse sees them only getting more horrifying.

But then, Runemagick throws some unexpected guitar solos that break from the mood set by the largely bluesy music.
Perhaps Runemagick is too old school for its own good.

 Runemagick
I was presuming that Runemagick would have proposed an excellent album in its genre, but my best expectations have been exceeded by reality: this is not only an excellent album, On funeral Wings is simply ACE.
Inferno and Heaven have many faces, like our cosmos has, and Runemagick's dark side is not made of an aggressive uptempo fire, but of an infinite, mysterious abyss of sidereal aura.
Nicklas "Terror" Rudolfsson, in around 14 years of activity under the sign of Runemagick and after having passed, under this sign, through 14 releases, has reached with this 15th work and this line up a perfect balance of instrumentation and vocals.

 BNR Metal Pages -- Runemagick   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Runemagick is one of several bands featuring one Niklas Rudolfsson, a man who has kept himself busy in bands such as Sacramentum, Deathwitch, and others.
A cursory description of 2003's Darkness Death Doom might be "doom metal with death vocals", but Runemagick is not quite a traditional doom metal band, nor a death metal band (save the vocals), and they aren't in the My Dying Bride-styled doomdeath camp either.
No, the focus is on slow to mid-paced riffs (sometimes doom speed, sometimes a bit more uptempo), thick and meaty, and basically just plain heavy.

Was für manche Bands eine sichere Einnahmequelle ist, mal eben eine halbe Stunde Musik aus dem Ärmel zu schütteln und dann für 20 Euro zu vertickern, ist aber zum Glück nicht die Masche von Runemagick.
In der Tat ist "On Funeral Wings" ein richtig dicker Brocken geworden, denn nicht nur die Spielzeit, sondern auch die schleppende und düstere Atmosphäre drückt ganz schön auf das Gemüt.
Runemagick haben im Laufe der Zeit ihren ganz eigenen Stil gefunden, den sie auf diesem Album jedoch noch weiter verfeinern konnten.

In 1993 I thought that Runemagick would be dead soon and forever but things changed… Dedication to the music is the most important input to go on with Runemagick.
They both mean a lot to me. A lot of Runemagick songs have been recorded and written on the Ibanez Artist.
The pentagram that completes Runemagick's logo is one of the most original ones i ever met: anyway it is a pentagram coming from the North with an extrapolation of the two "horses"-runes, if i am not wrong.

 Chaos Vault :: recenzja: Runemagick - On Funeral Wings :: black death doom gothic heavy power thrash metal hardcore rock
Z trudem akceptuję fenomen zespołu Runemagick - bez wątpienia mają swój styl, ale czasem słuchając ich na potęgę wydawanych materiałów mam wrażenie, że tak naprawdę to nie bardzo wiem o co im chodzi.
Pozornie muzyka Runemagick wydaje się być nudną - ciężkie, głębokie, powolne utwory to nie jest to, czego spodziewa się większość metalowych maniaków.
Z kolei dobrze znający Runemagick nie powinni spodziewać się żadnych zmian - wszelkie cechy bez wątpienia oryginalnego stylu są zachowane, zresztą trudno się oprzeć wrażeniu, że to jeden z tych zespołów, który zna się bardzo dobrze już po wysłuchaniu jednego albumu.

 THE METAL OBSERVER - Review - RUNEMAGICK - Darkness Death Doom
Already for the fifth time Mister Nicklas Rudolfsson presents us with an album as incarnation of mastermind of RUNEMAGICK and again I can attest that they absolutely have found their own style.
Still RUNEMAGICK always vary intensity and heaviness, thus giving their ton heavy sound additional dynamics, which (too) many bands unfortunately lack.
The guitar leads and melodies with their light oriental/Indian touch are a theme that is picked up a few times throughout the album and bring in an interesting note.

As one of the most original death bands, and also one of the most criminally underrated, I was pleased to get some words from the man himself.
Nicklas: The band was formed in the early 90's as a project but it soon became a band.
Lot's of troubles and lineup changes over the years but we are still in business and I hope we will be as long as we feel that we can create some good music that we like.

 Runemagick - Enter The Realm Of Death
I was moderately entertained by the groups debut but could have never envisioned them improving this much.
RUNEMAGICK basically stick to basics, don't bend the rules or allow trends to tempt them away from where their hearts lead them.
Speed is not a frequent facet of RUNEMAGICK's style, but rather strong, heavy, suffocating rhythms that slowly asphyxiate the victim, then proudly trample the grave.

 HellrideMusic.com - Runemagick - On Funeral Wings (Aftermath Music)
Nicklas Rudolfsson, who’s been running the Runemagick apocalypse machine since it's 1990 inception, couldn’t give two shits about me or my opinions, but I’m such a fan of this guy and all his many projects (The Funeral Orchestra, Deathwitch, Runemagick, et al).
Suffice to say, Runemagick have never disappointed with their sometimes atmospheric Autopsy/Unleashed-on-‘ludes take on heavy darkness.
The title track is a perfect example of the Runemagick craft — menacing negative doom riffs, plodding passages and swingin’ back-in-the-day death metal breakdowns.

 MusicbOOm.it - Tutta la musica del web - pagina stampabile recensioni - Runemagick - Resurrection In Blood   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The Supreme Force Of Eternity, datato 1998, era composto da pezzi tutti risalenti al periodo '91-'93, periodo in cui la band realizzò il primo lavoro e, subito dopo, si bloccò per 4 anni, per permettere ai membri (tutti tournisti) di realizzare i tour programmati con i rispettivi gruppi di appartenenza.
La permanenza di Rudolfsson in band come Dissection, Deathwitch e Swordmaster ha plasmato l'ossatura "death" del Runemagick sound, naturalmente di stampo europeo, con leggeri richiami a quello statunitense.
Un album aggressivo e ben realizzato, sicuramente non originale, ma che può piacere per i suoi richiami a storiche band death e a molte della scuderia Century Media.
