nokturnal mortum

Fuck yeah. One of the few bands where I bought one CD and ended up getting their entire collection. Excellent NSBM, lots of depth and keyboard ambience, without being overly gay and symphonic. Everyone likes Lunar Poetry the most, but I rank To The Gates of Blasphmous Fire to be their best.

eucharist

Fuck yeah. I reviewed Velvet Creation if you wanna check it out: http://www.royalcarnage.com/Reviews/jaykeeley/eucharist/velvet_rev.htm

einherjer

Fuck yeah. Viking metal at its finest. Start with Norwegian Native Art, but otherwise collect 'em all. Based on the mp3s of the new one, Blot should rule. We've got a review for Odin online.

For the rest, a certain Phyre should be able to add/assist. We also have his review for ILDJARN on the site, and in his top list for 2002, he had TAAKE - Over Bjørgvin Graater Himmerik at the number one spot.

Both The End and Red Stream should stock them all, except for two: EUCHARIST's Mirrorworlds, and EINHERJER's excellent Far Far North EP. Both are out of print and HTF.

Be VERY CAREFUL with Ragnarok.

There are two that I know of.. very different from one another.

 

[Demonspell]

Out of those, I'd suggest getting Nokturnal Mortum and Einherjer first...I'm not familiar enough with the rest, although I have liked what I've heard from Taake.

the one i have is black metal

 

[Papa Josh]

Very good, then. You have the one from Norway. They have a cd called Diabolical Age that is pretty good.

However, the other Ragnarok, from the UK, has 2, "Domgeorn" & "To Mend the Oaken Heart"...

 

[Black Winter Day]

what kind of music do they play?

 

[Papa Josh]

what kind of music do they play?

Well, in the Century Media catalog, it says- over 75 minutes of "Heathen warrior Metal" with lyrics in the ancient Anglo-Saxon tongue.

I'd say like a very, very, very poor man's Skyclad.
But even that doesn't aptly describe...

 

[Black Winter Day]

so it is folky power metal, then? clean vocals?

sorry, still trying to figure out which one i have!

 

[JayKeeley]

Question: Has anyone heard Forest Poetry by Ildjarn? Any thoughts?
