I bought this about two weeks ago and as the review states, you can take the album in rather quickly which is what I did. I thought it was good but not very impressive. Over the last week something has just been drawing me back to the album repeatedly. My iTunes reports that I have listened to it eleven times which makes a good case that I'm really liking this album. There is a genuine ethnicity to the music that makes it all the more intriguing. I think that the decision to sing everything in Dutch really aids in setting Heidevolk apart from other folk/viking metal bands. The first song 'Een Nieuw Begin' had me wanting to paint my face and beat my chest every time they chant 'Oomp, Oomp, Oomp'. The music conjures images of long lines of warriors marching, banging swords against shields, ready to kick the living hell out anything or anyone who would oppose them. For me, this is what folk/viking metal should sound like. Alex this a great review. You describe the album way better than I ever could. Nice job.
