Just to get you in the mood, here's a song called "Beer Beer": http://www.spv.de/SoundsF/3/37022%7E0001009.mp3

OK, here's some Skyclad worship with "Ryyppäjäiset": http://www.spv.de/SoundsF/3/37022%7E0001008.mp3

Some Finntroll worship with "Hunting Song": http://www.spv.de/SoundsF/3/37022%7E0001007.mp3

You can't go wrong with the flute I say. Here's "Pine Woods": http://www.spv.de/SoundsF/3/37022%7E0001004.mp3

Not bad, eh?

 

[Demilich]

"Wooden Pints" off their debut is a kick-ass drinking song, and "With Trees" has some great stuff going on! Overall, a little weak and redundant. Haven't heard the new one.

 

[JayKeeley]

All those samples are from the new one -- I've never even heard of these guys before.

 

[J.]

I asked about these guys in the Are These Guys Any Good Thread, and most people said they were just OK or average.

 

[JayKeeley]

This is the new one. Not sure how many people have heard it, but the samples sound pretty good. "Pine Woods" sounds great.

 

[Demilich]

I'd like to hear it some day.

 

[DE]

Downloading the new album now, sounds promising.
