Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Finnish veterans continue their highly successful reign over European folk metal with an incredibly bombastic, meticulously produced studio effort. 'One Man Army' perfectly weaves fast-paced, aggressive melodic death metal riffing together with sweeping choral arrangements and traditional Scandinavian acoustic instrumentation. The album is a relentlessly energetic, wonderfully epic celebration of Viking mythology and fantasy battles.
