Album Notes & Community Reviews

On their third album, the pioneers of folk metal continue to perfectly balance traditional acoustic instrumentation鈥攑articularly fiddles and mandolins鈥攚ith aggressive thrash metal. Martin Walkyier's distinctively poetic, politically conscious wordplay heavily targets environmental destruction and social decay.
