5.0 out of 5 stars viking metal dreams come true, April 22, 2002

By	Akuma (Vienna, Austria) - See all my reviews

being one of my favorite bands, mithotyn perfectly creates a viking ambiente. the power of the aggressive vocals, paired with riffs resembling traditional scandinavian tunes set you into another time. i highly recommend this release (and the other two they released) to anyone open for a style of metal in the tradition of bathory and the old enslave. mithotyn are the true masters of viking metal. you won't be disappointed. it is a pity they are no more.

5.0 out of 5 stars pleasant to hear, February 4, 2004

By	nico loucas (new york) - See all my reviews

Without a doubt the best song on this cd is Upon Raging Waves. that is not to say in the least that the rest of it is bad, quite the contrary, its all amazing. the only band i can compare these guys to is Suidakra. Viking metal is a very underappreciated genre of music. if you dont like the vocals, at the very least learn to look past them so you can hear the beautiful music and be immersed into the time period this music is set to. check out the rest of this bands music and you still wont be dissapointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quick Comment, March 24, 2003

By	"darkvoid5" (Canada) - See all my reviews

I enjoy alot of Viking Metal, and I have no idea WHY people who are writing these reviews arn't into the vocals. The vocals are what sets this band apart from the rest, so many Viking Ambient type bands have such WEAK vocals! The blackmetal style vocals of Mithotyn are incredible, and complete the picture of crushing viking music without weak *singing* or *power* vocals.
