It is more than worthy of standing next to the debutBlack Sabbath Master of RealityBlack Sabbath Black SabbathBoston BostonCandlemass Epicus Doomicus MetallicusDissection Storm of the Light's BaneDissection ReinkaosEnsiferum EnsiferumEnsiferum were the guys to get me into metal. If it wasn't for them I would have missed out on so much great music, so they'll always have a special place in my heart. Every song could be considered the best on the album, and there is tons of variation in all of them. And even though it's a folk metal album, it has a more mature tone without sounding very cheesy. Overall its an album anyone interested in folk or metal should give a tryEquilibrium SagasArguably the best folk metal album. The mountain of cheese makes it even more enjoyable and fun. I could listen to Unbeseigt and Mana all dayFunkadelic Maggot BrainGris À L'Âme Enflammée, L'Âme Constellée...A cathartic work of art. Few albums hit as hard when you are going through hard timesHavukruunu Kelle Surut SoiGood luck finding an album that will get your blood pumping as much as this oneHorn NaturkraftMoonsorrow VerisäkeetMoonsorrow KivenkantajaMoonsorrow Voimasta ja kunniastaMoonsorrow Viides luku - HävitettyDidn't like it at first, listened to it one day late at night alone in the dark and as soon as the last 8 minutes of the first track came on, I knew it was a masterpiece. All the riffs are great catchy, memorable, etc. It does a great job with creating a wall of sound and making no part seem boring (Once it grows on you). And parts like the lonely guitar at the beginning or the depressing yet bombastic chorus(?), the last 3 minutes of the first track that's repeated, help you imagine a dark, destroyed, and mysterious world.

Except for track 8 which is just breathingFunkadelic One Nation Under a GrooveGreen Carnation A Blessing In DisguiseHans Zimmer The Dark Knight: Original Motion Picture SoundtracHavukruunu Uinuos Syömein SotaA lot more complex and and darker sounding than Kelle Surut Soi, and feels like a natural evolution of the rprevious album. The vocals are something to behold, as they go from standard black metal screams to guttural chants to whatever is in between, to full choirs. Music and composition-wise it doesn?t sound much different than its predecessors, but Havukruunu start to show a sound they can truly call their own now Horn DistanzNaturkraft Part II, that should be all you need to hearIron Maiden Somewhere in TimeIron Maiden The Number of the BeastKataxu Hunger of ElementsMesarthim Ghost CondensateMichael Jackson ThrillerMoonlight Sorcery Horned Lord of the Thorned CastleMoonsorrow TulimyrskyMoonsorrow Varjoina kuljemme kuolleiden maassaMotoi Sakuraba Dark Souls SoundtrackMotoi Sakuraba and Yuka Kitamura Dark Souls III OSTNightwish OnceNokturnal Mortum Goat HornsNokturnal Mortum NeChristAlthough there?s a couple generic black metal songs on here, if you can look past the extremely offensive lyrics, you have a pretty solid folk/black metal albumNokturnal Mortum Return Of The Vampire LordParliament The Clones Of Dr. FunkensteinPaysage d'Hiver Das TorPaysage d'Hiver Im WaldPrimordial The Gathering WildernessSoundtrack (Video Game) BioshockThe Jimi Hendrix Experience Electric LadylandThe Ruins of Beverast Unlock the ShrineThe Ruins of Beverast The Thule GrimoiresThyrfing VanagandrVinterland Welcome My Last ChapterWindir ArntorI just want to say "The Blacksmith and Troll Of Lundamyri" is a classic and arguably one of the best songs I've ever heard.

They're fast, bombastic, and can hold up to the songs on The Voice of Steel pretty well despite being pretty different. But then Graveland comes in. After the pretty good intro, it moves into the slow brooding 2 songs Graveland conceived. Although the songs have good parts and are overwell solid, the vocals are awful, sounding more like spoken dialogue. Overall, worth just for NMGreen Carnation Light of Day, Day of DarknessDespite its length, this album always has something interesting happening, and never left me bored, especially the first and last 10 minutes. However the female screams at around halfway through are awful and bring down the song.

If they're going to make an album called Redneck Vikings they should at least keep the cool gimmick all the way through. Nevertheless there's several good songs on hereAlestorm Sunset on the Golden AgeAlestorm No Grave But the SeaAmorphis Tales from the Thousand LakesAmorphis The Beginning of TimesBathory The Return of the Darkness and EvilBathory HammerheartBathory Blood on IceBathory Destroyer of WorldsBorknagar True NorthBurzum Hvis Lyset Tar OssDragonForce Inhuman RampageEldamar The Force of the Ancient LandIt?s a good album, but very repetitive. The first song is just several notes being played on a keyboard with little changes each minute, like guitars, some growls, and a female vocalist who just sings the same note the whole song. All of this for over ten minutes. And then you get to the next song and realize it is (without exaggeration) the same song you probably won?t even notice it changed. Thankfully, the songs do get less repetitive and they sound good Ensiferum One Man ArmyMuch faster and heavier than Unsung Heroes, although most of the songs are bland and forgettable (except for the 11 minute closer)Equilibrium WaldschreinEquilibrium ArmageddonFalconer FalconerFinntroll Trollhammaren Finntroll BlodsveptGloryhammer Tales from the Kingdom of FifeInsomnium Winter's GateIron Maiden The Book of SoulsManegarm Legions of the NorthMesarthim Coma WallNightwish Dark Passion PlayNightwish ImaginaerumNightwish Endless Forms Most BeautifulNightwish HUMAN. :II: NATURE.Nokturnal Mortum TwilightfallNokturnal Mortum 22 Years Among the SheepNokturnal Mortum Orathania / КолядаOpeth Blackwater ParkPowerwolf Call of the WildSabaton The Last StandSaor AuraSummoning Minas MorgulSolid symphonic black metal record.

The first 8 or so minutes of the former sound like a jumbled mess of guitars and synths without anything coherent, but the last 4 minutes saves it and makes it memorable. Time is just alright2.5 averageAmorphis EclipseAmorphis HaloEnsiferum Two PathsWhat an Ensiferum album would sound like if they stripped away all the elements that made them each unique and added a shitty accordian.
