Manegarm was nothing else than a wacky band name the first time I saw it, but everything changed when I started to listen to it. Amazing! Manegarm’s type of Viking/folk metal is definitely unique. The mix between extreme and soft musical elements is nearly perfect. Violins that take care of the lead work instead of the lead guitar, pulsing and thunderous rhythm sections, violin solos and outstanding vocal work. Another cool thing about this album is that the lyrics is one complete tale of a warrior who fights against the evilness in Midgaard (sort of). This is what you are going to experience if you get ’’Vargstenen’’. Catchiness, heaviness, melodies and everything else you want from metal. Highlight tracks from this album would be Vargstenen (5/5), Vedergallningens Tid (4.5) and Ur Sjalslig Tid (4.5/5). This album is extremely recommended.
