3.0 out of 5 stars Meh...Another typical "Viking Metal" Album, June 18, 2008

This review is from: Gathered Around the Oaken Table (Audio CD)

This CD wasn't bad, it just was not good by any means. I think this is their 3rd album? I'd say they burned out on the first and second. I listened to this album a few times over and there was nothing that stood out. Most of the songs break down into typical "viking" like guitar rhythms and too often the songs go on unnecessarily long with the same riff over and over. Certain songs like Chariots of Power sound good at first, until the choir like vocals come in, and they just sound silly.. talking about magic hammers or something. it just sounds lame. It embarrasses me to blast when I'm driving around. The choir is in a few of the songs and it just doesn't sound right. Contrary to the reviews I have seen about the vocals from earlier albums, I do like the harsh black metalish style. So I would recommend listening to their earlier albums which seem to be a bit more fresh.
