Style: powerful aggressive viking death metal

fourth full-length [2002] was a breaking career point for aggressive Swedish death metal vikings, taking a remarkably different approach than before and thus reaching their peak: slower, harder yet doomier and more straightforward style makes the tiny details of music shine through, while catchiness is an absolute priority of these larger than life numbers that sound especially monumental, driven by crushing rhythms and unwavering martial resolve, with album concept manifesting an aim to unite the Norse people for a return to power and worldwide coup, turning this creative output into a focused, ideologically clear statement, boldly opening a new chapter in their awe inspiring evolution; recent German re-issue of absolute bestseller comes with a remastered sound and updated layout
