I have a load of demo mp3s of these guys somewhere. 74 is about right, I think... or maybe lower... not a very exciting band.

Rio, 74 is a good score! If a band was not very exciting, i would give it a 65 or less.

My problem is i couldnt get into this release for some reason. Maybe i had to much other stuff to listen to :wacko: *trundles off to give this a second chance*


Edit: Vadeskudd and Svart are great songs. this is easily in the 75-79 range. Actually, its more like a 78 or 79, nothing amazing, but utterly solid and a little bit original.

Before I sent this off to Kayla I listened to it all the way through. Surprisingly, I thought it was pretty good. Nothing I'd ever buy, but it was definitely pretty cool.

Never heard of them. What are they like?

Edit: lol, they got the worst scores ever on archives :lol: But you cant really trust that place lol.

You know what you may like, the new Nachtmystium cd. Quite melodic, and the screechy vocals are kinda mixed in the back :)

Metal Archives is the Wikipedia for retarded metalheads (no offense, Rad).

Old-school, yay!

*Notices large piles of fresh released old-school BM albums lying here and there; after that realizes something*

Well, this isn't the worst piece of music, I like it and think it's indeed very good, but: it was already done plenty of times even before the millennium's end. And then nowadays there are bands doing the same stuff better: Koldbrann, Katharsis, Satanic Warmaster, etc.

Gave it additional 5 points for the band's origin.

BAh! This album is a solid 90 hands down. One of the best releases from Norway in the last few years.
