Asmegin

How many albums have they released? I don't really like the chick vocals that much, the only female vocals I really like is Cia Hedmark's. Another band I've been really into is Die Apokalyptischen Reiter, but I bought some of there other cd's that were fuckin horrible. "All you need is love" is seriously one of best cd's I've heard in a long time. Another band that I have never heard of.

Weren`t they said to be THE newcomers of 2003 ? I bought one of their albums, but listened only once so far.... maybe I should give it another try, if you all love it so much....
Guess I am one of those who doesn't like them so much...
I think I had way too high anticipations on Ásmegin, and I wasn't really stunned by their album. It's a mediocre album, that's all. Too much black/death metal (which I really enjoy, don't get me wrong) and toó little folk music influences...

Ásmegin have released one album and only a demo before that.

and yes, Die Reiter are very weird, especially live. One song they're great and the next you really wonder what the hell this is :D

That is it why I really liked the cd "all you need is love" they combined about 3 different kinds of metal in one. The vocals were great, I was really pissed as I bought serveral others and they contained one, maybe two worth listening.
I would still really enjoy seeing them live. Thanks for the link.

Asmegin is great! I love the folk influences, it gives a different twist. I had never heard of them before. Just digging around at the record store, and bought it without hearing it. I'm happy with my purchase!

Yes, they are great but there is also one band in Norway which is similar to Ásmegin and as great as Ásmegin. This band is Lumsk.

dunno if they're that similar but they for sure aren't as good, albeit still a very enjoyable band :p
 
I always thought that asmegin were very average. Nothing special at all really. There's a lot of better Viking/Black Metal out there.

Yes lumsk and asmegin are two worlds utterly different.....lumsk are never speedy but the songs are very heavy and mid-paced and they use a clean male vocal while asmegin are all the contrary and etc. anyway I like lumsk the most, asmegin are not my cup of tea
