grandiose seventh studio longplay [2008] by new age vikings follows the apocalyptic Ragnarök myth from the ancient past with damn catchy and epic music character, effectively expressed by utterly harmonious riffing with well-fitting solos aplenty, while thunderous rhythmic attack and Johan Hegg's overwhelming roaring vocal performance ensure these ten cuts are delivered in a sledgehammer-heavy way hand in hand with extreme music standards akin to the nineties tradition; effectively hitting the Billboard charts while skeptics are ready to prove that evidence of mainstream-jumping start showing on this release, the Swedes always find their strongest arguments as well, and the support of loyal fanbase is another important generator to move on with their titanic deeds; deluxe German enriched by pop-up artwork inside gatefold sleeve black and white marbled blue vinyl edition with a pro-printed lyric inner sleeve is limited to 1100 units
