Anyone heard Odroerir's Götterlieder?

[Demilich]

Looks cool as fuck and sounds kinda like Empyrium from the samples I've heard, but I was wondering if anyone had heard this musical adaptation of the Edda? I can't decide from the samples whether the album as a whole would be worth owning... looking for a bit of a description of the compositions as a whole or something.

talk to the Furry-Ass

side band of the Menhir dudes I believe

 

[Thanatopsis123]

I'm not hearing the Empyrium comparison. Is it worth owning? Yes.

If you want, tell me what songs you've heard and I can upload some of the other ones to help you make your decision if you'd like.

good band. If only I could understand German...
and yep, Menhir is teh good too.

...it seems that english text´s will follow, but it´s the typical version of edda texts and local heathen myths. Quite nice. I played with my BM band 7 years ago with them and they made a good viking show on stage (mead, horns) ... Really nice guys...

That track Thanatopsis uploaded sounds pretty much nothing like Empyrium. It was ok, nothing special though.

Matthew G., did you ever get a hold of this fantastic album? I'm spinning it for the third time as we speak. I must have been in a pensive state the past two sittings, as the music drifted aimlessly beyond my grasp. Now here we are, on the third try, and my soul is being gripped by pure skaldic fury. No jolly Eluveifaggotry hurdy gurdy tugjobs to be found here. Just beautifully done guitar driven melodies of medieval worship. From my understanding, they wanted to play HCIII, but couldn't due to Crusader's budget restrictions. What a shame.

 

[Ellestin]

yep great album with some of the finest vocal harmonies heard in "folk" metal. I hear part II is in the works as we speak.

 

[swizzlenuts]
