Svartsot's Ravnenes Saga is probably my favourite folk metal albums of all time. The music is quite basic and simple, a steady rhythm guitar and a melodic lead guitar accompanied by catchy drum beats. But it is the use of flutes and whistles (and Danish lyrics) that creates the magic in this album. All tracks have their own signature melodies which make them all unique, even the tracks without flutes sounds very good as well. The extremely guttural growls blends perfectly with the soothing but yet intriguing flute melodies. Ravnenes Saga is an incredibly enjoying folk metal album that you must listen to.
