I'm a good fan of Folk music, whether it's metal or even any other kind of metal. This band is not only Folk/Viking metal, there is -also- a touch of black metal and brutal singing, with Epic feelings. But I think this album, won't add or take away any love for this kind of music

I was stunned by the fact that this band has been out since 1989, they also had many line-up changes.This album is a “Re-recorded version” of the band's unreleased debut album “Fireblade” from 1995,with some additional tracks.

I think their song should be played not more than 3 or 4 minutes, or else it will sound a bit boring.

Listening to their playing, the drummer sounds much like Moonspell's drummer “Mike”.

Nothing much to be said about this band except they play and have all kinds of elements they ever need to play Epic Folk/Viking metal to the bones.

This should be a good start for Viking/Folk metal fans. You gotta pick up this album.
