"9th album from these legends of Viking Black Death Metal! Since 1995, these warriors of the night have been delivering epic anthems in honor of Odin and all of Scandinavia, and this release is no exception, presented in a truly remarkable way. Returning to their roots, these barbarians offer a modern work with a slightly 'dirty' production that we love, while also infused with a sense of nostalgia. You can really feel the essence of the '90s in this Odin-inspired record. The acoustic folk sections are as captivating as ever, the black metal riffs oscillate between the classic sound of SATYRICON and more recent influences like ELUVEITIE (but with a hairier edge!), and the choirs reminiscent of BATHORY sweep us away, sometimes evoking the spirit of MOONSORROW. In short, this latest gem is sure to find its way into your collection (the furniture, not the nightclub!). The final battle for Ragnarok approaches as Thor slays and Loki quests. ODIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN! For fans of FALKENBACH, VINTERSORG, BATHORY, MOONSORROW, and AMON AMARTH."
