@Brisanti - Primordial is great. Looking forward to his side project Twilight of the Gods to finally release an album.
Well, 2013 has certainly been a great year for metal, especially the viking/pagan side of things. Sorry to go a little off topic here but I want to get everyone pumped for what is still to come this year! We have already seen releases from Ensiferum, Thyrfing, Summoning, Amon Amarth and Manegarm to name just a few. Coming up we still have albums from Thrudvanger, Turisas, Tyr, Satyricon (different genre, I know, but still one of my favorites!) and an EP from Equilibrium (which includes a cover of the Skyrim theme!)!
But, most of all, possibly a release from a band that I believe can take over the reins from Amon Amarth one day. I had hoped a band would come along one day that could hold a candle to the mighty AA but I didn't know if it were possible. This band's first two albums eclipse, in my opinion, the first two AA albums. One of the problems right now, and no offense to the band or the label, but these guys need to be picked up by a much bigger label, preferably Metal Blade. Info on them is hard to gather over here in the US so I ask all my friends in Europe to support these guys and get them some more exposure. All hail Heathen Foray.
