You write so damn well Magnus, you trump me with quality in your reviews. Band has done fuck all for me in the past so I would just assume skipping this.

If the band hasn't done anything for you in the past then yea, this isn't going to change your perception of them. Also, thanks for the kind words Karl, but always remember that you've had a big part in my development as a writer because of your critique and advice :]

Thanks master of ipods. I have noticed that you've been a lot more low-key as well as of late.



Simply, works a bitch. Apprentices don't have much of a life outside of work. I'd like to write a little more and contribute more frequently but everytime i turn around I have to do another 10 hour shift.

Actually I wanted to be first in to review this but alas, didn't happen.

Props to you man, have you're well deserved pos.

Ah, I didn't even know that you wanted to review this. Oh well, I planned on doing this anyway and you can always post your version when you've got time to write one.

Na, tis all good. Your's is ace enough to smack the nay-sayers away. That and mine at the moment is a little too similar to yours but with no mention of their undetermined future. Maybe a soundoff will suffice lol.

I'm not the biggest black metal fan but I'll youtube a few tracks tomorrow to see if I like it enough to get the whole album.



Gonna go to sleep now since it's 2 AM here and I've got to get up in 6 hours, so good night, man.

I've got a massive soft spot for folk metal in general, this kinda rules.

Same here, but alas, folk metal's roster really isn't that deep and most of the smaller bands kinda blow.

Yeah this is pretty good but it could use some trimming and a standout track or two.

Album Rating: 4.0

Imo it does have standout tracks in Helvetios, Luxtos and Uxellodunon (plus the intro and outro which are both delightful). I personally don't mind the length, but you're not the first to complain about it.

Album Rating: 3.0

I agree about the three songs you mentioned being among the best moments, the intro and outro have little value outside of the album itself though. As much as I enjoy a dose of folk metal, the sound always has its limits, so when something pushes the hour it doesn't exactly ask for too many revisits.

This is half-true when it comes to myself. I absolutely agree with the sound having its limits, but when a folk metal album is done really well, I can definitely stomach an hour-long runtime and, as opposed to you, will come back to it, seeing as folk metal, like I believe I said somewhere above already, doesn't have too deep of a talent pool, so I always appreciate it when a well done folk metal album comes along.

It's a "fun" genre for me too, obviously. I seriously doubt there's a single person on this site who listens to folk metal because it's thought-or-emotion-provoking music to get lost into haha. In fact, I don't think we even have a person here whose favorite genre of all is folk metal.

Is there anything known as Technical Folk Metal or Progressive Folk Metal? XD Could be fun if there is one.

Really? Nobody? Helvetios? Helvetica? *sigh*

^speaking of sputnik 2007 havent seen this guy in forever.
