Customer Reviews

Wow!
It seems that this title has already been discontinued. I hope that this is not true since this is a great cd. Elvenking have, with every release, done some very interesting variations on the theme of folkmetal. All Elvenking albums have a recognizable sound and still manage to exhibit an individual identity. This disk is, by far, their most folk sounding and therefore, fans who preferred The Scythe to Wyrd may not want to hunt this down.
But, enen though this cd is more folk than metal, it is far from mellow. Most of the tunes are upbeat with nice electric guitar work as well as violin, flute, occasional bagpipe, bass, drums, and keys. The vocals are typical of Elvenking and the pagan inspired lyrics are sometimes angry, sometimes wistful,but always poetic.
Fans of Elvenking who are willing to be open to a more folky style will be well rewarded by this album. For diehard metal heads, you may want to hear some tracks first before buying this disk. Those new to Elvenking may start anywhere, including here, to discover a truly unique and talented band full of integrity.
