Style: mystical epic viking black metal
glorious forerunners and one of the last originals of the jet as night viking scene, Kampfar remain true to their primordial style and deliver raw folky pagan black metal as it was meant to be played - piercing riffs, driving drum patterns, and catchy harmonies shape the fourth full-length, where charismatic frontman Dolk waves the scepter in full swing: his unmistakably unique vocal approach gives the songs the finishing touch, while dark and majestic atmosphere reveals all tiny details of Nordic myths and legends in both clean and harsh way; they have effectively tried to incorporate shorter tracks on this recording, thus adding up in dynamics and widening the emotional specter even more
