Album Notes & Community Reviews

Dedicated entirely to Odin and Norse mythology, the American traditional metal stalwarts lean heavily into massive, symphonic excess. Pushing aside standard rock instrumentation, significant portions of the record are dominated by orchestral swells, spoken-word theatrical interludes, and bombastic, choral-backed heavy metal anthems.

Genres

Descriptors: mythology, war, martial, pagan
