Jégzivatar is the solo project of Adrian Pénzes from Hungary. 'Misanthropia' features 20 minutes of melodic/atmospheric black metal that does not rely on heavy use of keyboards like many other bands these days, but takes its main strength from the fantastic guitar work and varied songwriting that makes each song unique and immediately recognizable. Sung entirely in Hungarian, many fans of Finnish black metal will notice the strong similarities of the Hungarian language to Finnish, so this EP should appeal to fans of guitar-oriented melodic/atmospheric black metal in general as well as Finnish and of course Hungarian black metal in particular. The CD is released as part of the Northern Silence Underground Series and comes in jewel case, limited to 500 copies.
