Theli and Vovin for me. These are also the first ones I listened to with Therion, so this might be the reason...
Covenant - In Times Before The Light
The original edition on Mordgrimm, I suppose?
You mean the remix version from 2002, or the reissue of the original, which was released last year? I know it's quite different from their newer releases, and even though it's my least favorite album, I really, really love it (both versions).
I just got Crowhead - Love Letter (demo cd 2000)
Verdict on Tyr's Land?
Not so much for a first impression, but it grows on me with every time I hear it. Eric The Red is still my favourite, but there are a couple of songs on the new one that are really good as well; Brennivín (booze) and Lokka Táttur (the ballad of loki) are my favourites as of yet. The melody of Lokka Táttur is actually the same as an old Swedish nursery rhyme.
The new version of Hail To The Hammer is ok, but I think the end is a bit weird...
The DVD part is great, nicely filmed and has a good sound quality. Haven't been able to locate myself in the crowd yet, though. Dissapointing....
Jesus Christ, ANOTHER version of Hail to the Hammer? They ALREADY re-did it (with God of War) on Eric the Red, but not again! Regarding Tyr, I used to be one of the "yawn, this is boring folk metal, where's the double-bass and battle cries?" Then I kinda got over that phase, and now really dig them. I think I'll pick up Land next week.
