Release Year: 2012
Artist Origin: NOR
Style: intricate epic viking pagan metal

historical Norwegian three-piece was always exceptional in their specific direction, reflecting on viking genre from quite a special angle, bringing together a stark and edgy character to pagan metal in general, so when they announced the long awaited comeback after eight year hiatus, it was commonly hailed by all heathen hearts missing the northern band all these years; intricate six tracker [2011] is quite twisted, unpredictable and ambitious, by all means exploring deeper the subject where they are absolute experts, capturing the ancient tradition and refining ages-old stories with quite solemn and ferocious music, where the bombastic thirteen minute long opener Norrøn Kraft sounds the most representative - for a dedicated ensemble with rich past it is the only right way to carry on!
