Reviews:
I expected awesomeness and I got exactly that with this newest work of art by this great Latvian Pagan / Folk Metal band. It sure did take a long time as they had last released an album in 2000 but after hearing this I have to say it was well worth the wait, afterall, it is said that good things take time. Following a short intro the listener is presented with some of the best thick and juicy riffing that it is nearly impossible to hold back the headbanging ! For variety and to add a special touch as the band tells of old mythological Latvian folklore, they use different instruments like mouthharp, bagpipes, something called a kokle (I have no idea what that is) and another unknown to me instrument called giga. This is the perfect Folk / Pagan Metal album ! Of course these guys sing in Latvian but what I really like is that they also put the song titles and lyrics in English so I can read along and share in the experience. Kudos to the band for a brilliant album ! If you like bands like PRIMORDIAL, old CRUACHAN, FALKENBACH or ADORNED BROOD then you NEED SKYFORGER in your collection ! Recommended tracks: ALL

High speed folk-inspired heathen metal demonstrating adept instrumention that makes use of full guitar melodies and melodies alongside bagpipes and kokles. Just as their three previous releases where thematically conceived, this one pays tribute to the ancient gods and the worldview that lived until the 19th century.
