Melodic death metal band from Stockholm, Sweden here with their 8th album and they continue with their viking theme, and why not, they are from viking country and have beard and long hair... I have seen them live and that was a great experience but this album does not have good songs enough to rock me much. Seems like they had lack of ideas and there are no suprises here, but at high volume and in the right mood some songs make me play imaginary rhythm guitars and pound my head. Very well produced album with a good but maybe too polished sound that doesn't make the instuments justice, it melts into a wall of sound. Great cover!


1)War of the gods (7,0)

2)Töcks taunt -Lokes treachery part II (7,5)

3)Destroyer of the universe (7,0)

    8 years into their albumreleasingcareer J. Geils Band released another album worth of rockin' and rollin' songs but this time they took a much calmer and poppier path and not all the songs are top class anymore. It seemes like they went out ...

    This american doom-band has an interesting history. Formed as an side-project by Pentagram's Bobby Liebling and Geof O'Keefe and was completed with Randy Palmer as far back as 1973-74 when they also recorded some material which did not get r...

    Another one of my favorite bands from the 1980's and 90's. I have always loved thier simple and bluesy hardrocksongs with singer Jack Russell's clear and sensetive vocals. This, their 3rd album is one of the highlights of the band's career a...
