legendary saga of Bathory ends up with the final incredible dualogy, one of the most powerful releases by highly respected and influential band, which reflects upon a pure Nordic spirit, where the late Quorthon for the last time is full of genuine spirit to share his secret knowledge on northern epic tales, taking the listener through the deep forest and offering a seat in a Viking dragonship at open sea; first part [2002] of the story haunts with spirit-uplifting atmosphere, expressive vocal performance and multi-layered inspiration, which is difficult to forget, while the second [2003] delves deep into Viking folklore and victorious events that actually happened, with apt songwriting of bombastic nature and vast choirs enhancing the experience, while some aggressive moments like Flash of the Silverhammer make thy blood pump faster in anticipation; recent gatefold sleeve double black 180g vinyl edition
