“Heima,” is a cracking opener, filled with energy, desire and lightning. “Árás,” is heaviness incarnate. A song that batters the constrains of time into submission and demands to be heard by all and sundry. “Ao haustí,” slams down hard. It moves with groove and precision, delivering a slamming blow to the face of the listener and demanding to be heard at full volume.
“Nifheimur,” slams down and turns the screws through everything, pushing the boundaries and demanding to be heard. “Meo Fuglum,” slams down and delivers something impressive and terrifying in equal measure. “Mara,” snarls, burning through the mana and delivering something impressive and terrifying, all for those who wish to listen.
“Gleipnir,” begins the finale, with an impressive crescendo, slathering through the turnstile and delivering an ultimate push. “Meo jotnum,” gallops on the wind with increased freneticism. “Kvaoning,” slithers through the pathway and into the world of old, delivering a smashing epitaph.
This celebration is out on 23rd October via Napalm Records.
