Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Swedish melodic death metal titans deliver their very first fully narrative concept album, telling the bloody, tragic tale of a young warrior joining the legendary Jomsviking mercenary order. The record is packed with their signature galloping, triumphantly melodic guitar riffs and Johan Hegg's commanding growls, featuring a notable duet with Doro Pesch. It was a massive commercial success, debuting at number 19 on the US Billboard 200.
