Scandinavian folk-based folk metal is generally fairly uninteresting.
I like Celtic folk metal, but stuff like Einsiferum is solid but gets kind of boring. Something about the melodies. Subtle scandinavian folk influences are great, though.

As for the production, yes the production on their first album is rawer than on later albums, hope this isn't a huge surprise for you, and no, it's not shitty, listen to some Devourment, that's shitty production.

Or listen to any demo's by bands, wich often have crappy production.

by the way; do you listen to Bathory? VIKING METAL FTW! ;D
 
ONE MAN RODE THE WAY THROUGH THE WOODS DOWN TO ASA BAY
WHERE DRAGON SHIPS HAD SAILED TO SEA MORE TIMES THAN ONE COULD SAY
TO SEE WITH OWN EYES THE WONDER PEOPLE TOLD OF FROM LAND TO LAND
THE GOD OF ALL ALMIGHTINESS HAD ARRIVED FROM A FOREIGN LAND!

THE RUMORS TOLD OF A MAN WHO CAME FROM OTHER SIDE THE SEA
BEARING GOLD CROSS AROUND NECK IN CHAIN AND SPOKE IN STRANGE TONGUE OF PEACE
HE HAD COME WITH STRANGE MEN IN ARMOR DRESSED IN PURPLE SHIRTS AND LACE
SMELLING NOT OF BEER BUT FLOWERS AND WITH NO HAIR IN FACE

AND THE BOLD MAN CARRYING CROSS TOLD ALL ONE OF ASA BAY
THE GOD OF ALL ALMIGHTYNESS HAD COME...TO THEM ALL SAVE!

:notworthy :)!

They're black metal albums are good too.. THE GOLDEN WALLS OF HEAAAAVEEEEEEEEEEENARRRRHH! <insane guitar solo>
 
agreed, Lunar strain has some realy good folk influences, for example the violins at starforsaken were a good idea, same goes for the epic ending of Behind space, speaking of behind spaking by the way, i think it's not overrated, it gets the attention it deserves since it's a In flames classic. I always thought that Artifacts were overrated, people think it's a classic or very good, but the vocals just killed it.

Boo this man!

BOOOO!!!

Artifacts owns you and your family :notworthy:rock:
 
Reminds me of Asator from Amon Amarth...
Only as far as the word "fire" goes.
Masters Of War has the most badass "fire" moment, though, after the first chorus when it stops and he's like "FFIIIRREEE! BURN THEM ALIVE!" And the music comes back in. :kickass:

the riffs on ''A fine day to die'' realy kick ass, you can't resist headbanging!

also i love the last part when Quorton screams ''DIEEEEEEEE'' ''DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!'' :D
I also love Outro. Particularly the way it's used on every single album. Consistency ftw.

2 votes for Clad In Shadows? What the hell?
Jokes.
