5.0 out of 5 stars Vratyas Vakyas is a mastermind, August 13, 2004

If you hear the words "Viking Metal," you're probably expecting something heavy and ruthless like Bathory or Amon Amarth, right? Not so from Falkenbach's "Ok Nefna Tysvar Ty." While its lyrics describe Odinism and the Viking conquest against those evil Christians, the music itself is very melodic and beautiful. Vocal styles get repetitive, but you lose yourself in Vakyas' fantastic voice. The ardency of the flutes, which are prevalent in this release, is the thing that will catch most listeners first. This is not to say that the guitar work is not fantastic, because while not technical or fast, it is very good. There is a lot of use of acoustic and classical guitars as well. I recommend this to any Viking Metal fan, and also to fans of Agalloch, Sol Invictus, and Opeth.

4.0 out of 5 stars creates a mood, April 7, 2007

This is one of those albums that non-metal listeners can give a listen to and say,"hey,that's some good music."Well,in fact,it's not really metal at all.This album is more like folk music with lyrical themes about the life of yesteryear.There are some splashes of distorted guitar and screams(not too harsh)but mostly we hear acoustic guitars and all sorts of ancient sounding instruments.I'm not too sure what some of those instruments are but they definitly are a nice,fresh addition to the rest of the more familiar sounding "rock" instruments.The best part of this album is the amazing mood of nostalgia it just seems to create.I personally listened to it with headphones walking to the store.I swear I could tune everyone else out and I felt like I was the only around for miles in a land a long time ago.Try it.

This is relaxing music mostly dominated by melodic vocals which are sung in a chorus-style. The lyrics are clearly sung but are not in English. The guitar work and drums are good but mostly in the background. There are non-traditional instruments (for metal) such as a flute and some others that I can't identify. This is sort of "easy-listening" metal which I like but I suspect I won't want to listen to often because it is fairly simple and not very varied.
