Tired... of Viking Metal... ??





.... This sounds a little like a joke to me. *Goes to metal-archives*.

 

[Lokasenna]

Trust me it's not a joke! hehe. Go to their site for proof and you can order the album from www.cdon.com already.

Yeah, after playing viking metal for 10 years they simply got tired of it. Lost the enthusiasm, you know?

This sounds more like The Haunted than Thrash Metal.

 

[Lokasenna]

Why do you say that? There are no death metal elements in Battered and The Haunted are pretty thrashy.

 

[skeptik]

Trust me, this isn't "old school thrash." I listen to a shitload of said genre, and this ain't it.

 

[Toad Lord]

for me Einherjer always was a rather cheesy band... I can't really imagine them making good Thrash but let's see

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

that last thing I wanna listen to is fucking thrash...

Whatever, viking metal is trendy.

Ha!

 

[The Subjugator]

the last thing we need is another lame "true vikings" band...

What do you mean by "clean screaming vocals"?

 

[Lokasenna]

What do you mean by "clean screaming vocals"?

Clean vocals, but they are quite aggressive and you can hear various screaming. However, there are no death vocals(growls).

+1

though i would rather listen to this than the haunted i think

EDIT: is the vocalist trying to sound like the guy in darkane or sth

dude... the haunted is NOT a fucking thrash band. I hate when people say they are thrash... that is a flat out INSULT to all the real thrash bands out there.

 

[Thraxz]

The vocals suck nads. The music isn't so bad.

 

[Impudent]

Death to pseudo-thrash!
