Album Notes & Community Reviews

Shedding almost all remnants of their early doom metal origins, the Swedish trio's eighth album is a purely triumphant, fist-pumping heavy metal record. The concise project relies on mid-tempo, driving power metal riffs and bombastic lyricism dedicated to Viking lore and ancient battlefronts.
