Release Year: 2010
Artist Origin: FIN
Style: vicious energetic trollish folk metal

fifth full-length effort from troll metal pioneers is a storm of old-world-laden, folk-rooted metal, remaining true to the band's mythos and ethos: the most catchy, advanced and mature themes of them so far range from powerful death metal riffs to dark soundtracks, from pounding black metal consistency to groovy 80-ies reminiscences, from the orchestral grandeur of Solsagan to the ferocious, thrash-influenced Den Frusna Munnen, showcasing diverse range of musical textures with highly intricate layering of instruments, highlighting the band's ability to seamlessly integrate traditional folk elements with relentless metal riffs and growling vocals, resulting in a richly atmospheric and dynamic listening experience, while its virulent sound from grim north freezes souls yet amuses minds
