bmurator US Epic Black Metal. This is a top notch album in every sense. If, on top of that, you consider that it is a debut then... WOW! These guys are well on their way to greatness! For "outcasts" they are doing pretty damn well I would say... :) Very highly recommended!!!

Visual Complexity The debut album by these guys and they started strong. Great atmospheric black metal and artwork. Really great riffs, and vocals throughout this whole thing. The drums don't impress me too much but they don't ruin the album thankfully. Amazing stuff guys! Favorite track: Storsalen av Eik.

Great ships sail through the waves mighty oak upon cobalt tides Warriors of Odin pray to Njordr with spear and axe, prepared to die Thunder roars As ocean turns violent Waves begin to crash As first death tolls Horns now sound the battle has begun Pagan's might vast and strength untold Death begins with blade against blade Blood is spilt and oak is burned Swords clash, drowned out by waves Chants thunder over death this day Blades may dull Breaths be taken Death will toll Men forsaken Waves may pass And names forgotten But Thor will stand To honor the dead Pagan lands of fjords and mountains Honorbound by old tradition Axes drawn shields at the ready Sail through the waves prepared for death Ships shall sink and corpses with them Ocean's wrath Brought upon us Lives will end wrought with honor For Aesir await In the land of the slain Halls of gold and oak await us horns of ale and endless battle Journey's end shall be in asgard Odin and Freya protectors of men
2.
Great waves crash against the charred ships Drowning out the screams of dying men The sky grows black As a tempest begins Hail and snow rain from above The hailstorm a sign of death Njordr's wrath has been wrought as hail falls into blazing ships Icy waves Engulf the flames of men and oak Endless searing pain Death draws near as a blaze upon the sea Frost falls from high as the end waits below
3.
Life taken carelessly And blades rend through bone souls part from earthly binds as corpses sink far below Njordr claims the dead cold ebon waves now changed blood red Remains of men forever drowned To the sea, their bodies now bound Death's cold grasp soon shall near brought forth by hatred's head reared Men of both faiths now lay dead adrift in the ever-violent sea
4.
Bloodshed's end is near Ebon waters still once more Remains of ships and men bring fear To those still fighting the endless war A doomed man clings to life felled by the blades of men his death a product of christian strife visions of death's embrace return again rest at last for this pagan slaughtered his corpse submerged in bloodied waters End of life brings haven to the weary Now forever honored for his unbound bravery Souls released from mortal bonds Odin and Freya shall guard over the slain

emerald towering pines loom near the sky forever bathed in sun Forests coat the hills forever thriving still against the blade of time rocky mountainscapes a wall untouched by hate solace from the end rivers flow from far unending and unscarred by the hands of men beauty unbounding souls thrive after death Nature surrounding a great oaken hall Safety from men's hate haven from honor's fall respite from wartime bravery's gift to all thundering cliffs arise with the eagle's cries place of pagan rest Freya watches all from her throne filled hall Asgard's fallen fields Elk roam through the plains the heathen goddess reigns watching over nordic men Their battle ends in death pagan souls' new breath Folkvangr at last
7.
Oaken boughs Adorn the hall Room of thrones Life's final home Rest at last from death's cold grasp crackling flames honor souls now passed Aging pillars of pine and oak stand undaunted By hands of time
