sixth album from this group of German Symphonic Metal band....
strange that theyre German because their videos and songs are very Viking/Scandanavian in nature....
music goes between vast orchestrated pieces through to metal and hard rock...
the female vocalist has a very operatic quality to her voice, even borders those of early Kate Bush at times....
as youd probably expect with the Vikings, theres plenty of chants, presumably war chants???
the occasional male vocal somes in, all I can say is that it is what I would call Gothic(for want of a better term)...
a lot of this stuff on this album would be suited in a movie like The Omen IMO...
ive not ever heard anything like this and I like it a lot, not sure how it would compare with their back catalogue or
other bands in the folk metal, goth metal or symphonic metal genres because like I already stated...ive not heard anything like it!
