5.0 out of 5 stars heady, ingenious blackmetal, January 17, 2006

This review is from: 1184 (Audio CD)

blown in from the arctic gales of the northern lands, 1184 is a truly revelatory album. Exceptional in every way- musicianship, songwriting, riffing, concept- 1184 deserves it's rightful place upon the mantle of truly, rediculously awesome metal masterpieces of all time.

The wintry, melodic riffs really stick with you. Windir has made one hell of an album here- 1184 is brilliant, haunting, almost hypnotic folk/blackmetal. Don't miss this.

This review is from: 1184 (Audio CD)

Windir's first album ''soknardalr'' gave me a feeling about power and good performarce!
The songs were just perfect!
When ''arntor'' came too me i just can't believe it!
I thoyght it just can't be better....it can!
''1184''!!!
the album who beat up DIMMU BORGIR's ''stormblast'', cradle of filth's ''midian'' and immortal's heart of the winter!!!!
There mixure by blackmetal with great melodies and there folk style is the best i ever heard!
you must excuse my enlish...I'm from sweden...

I have always said that dimmu borgir is the kings of Norwegian blackmetal!
but i haved wrong!
WINDIR is the KINGS!

5.0 out of 5 stars What can I say? They rule., May 17, 2006

What can I say? These guys have completely destroyed the competition with this release. As a matter of fact, I'm very ashamed to say that I just found out about these guys, because they rule and I should have known them a long time ago. I would recommend this band to anybody who likes viking metal with many folk and black influences swiftly blended together to sound like some of the best music that I've ever heard. Get rid of your dimmu borgir and cradle of filth cd collections and buy this album, and along with that check out Ensiferum, Korplikaani and Vreid (Vreid is this band minus the lead singer). Rock on!
