by Michael Rother (04/03) Already with their last album, "Voimasta ja kunniasta", the Finns delivered Γ¬ a masterpiece of epic, folk-inspired Black Metal. On their new album, also Γ¬ recorded in the Tico-Tico Studios again, the band again presents magnificent Γ¬ metal hymns that in terms of atmosphere and epic superiority leave no Γ¬ desires opened. The native lyrics, an English transcription is included in Γ¬ the booklet, are sung in both clean and rough Black Metal grunts, powerful Γ¬ choirs and female guest-vocals included. Musically, this is pure bombast, Γ¬ skilfully combining calm passages and powerful heavy parts culminating in Γ¬ infectious hymns. Diversity is written in capital letters here, so that Γ¬ beside the traditional instruments there is a lot space for melodic keyboard Γ¬ sounds that by the help of the powerful production never seem misplaced or Γ¬ take anything of the songs tremendous power. In terms of Epic Folk Metal, Γ¬ this is a reference album that can only be recommended. (Michael Rother - Γ¬ 04/03)
