The Howling Wind, a duo featuring Ryan Lipynsky (Unearthly Trance, Serpentine Path) and Tim Call (Aldebaran), presents its fourth album, the follow up to the critically-acclaimed full-length 'Of Babylon'. 'Vortex' is a blast of ferocious and raw black metal, but with welcome influences of stoner rock, death metal, doom and old fashioned rock'n'roll. There are nine songs in total, including a cover of 'Reapers Of Satan', originally by Swedish black metal band WAR.
