Style: expressive cinematic viking pagan metal
third offering of rousing, uplifting, invigorating epic pagan/folk metal crew centers the focus on history of ninth to eleventh century Baltic vikings - Mathias Nygård commands his Norse warriors in rich and compelling voice to march forth, conducting the chugging guitars, pounding drums, and all manner of symphonic accompaniment that grows into a delightful atmospheric ride over the distant shores; the band now sounds more mature, coherent, damn catchy and bombastic in a healthy way; limited hardcover digibook edition comes with extra CD, including Jethro Tull Broadsword and Black Sabbath Supernaut covers, as well as video part with three live in studio acoustic renditions
