The main problem with this album is, there is so much filler in the album that you just get bored of trying to find the metal. A dissection of the track-listing explains this:
01.Overture to the Hymn of the Immortal Warriors [06:19] < Symphony Peice
02.The Ascension [02:30] < Symphonic Peice/Narration/Singing Narration
03.King of Kings [04:17] < Metal/minute long narration in the middle of the song/Metal at the end. The actual song part of this kicks large amounts of ass though. catchy fuckin chorus too. Crack the Earth... GODS OF THUNDER!
04.Army of the Dead Part 1 [01:58] < A chorus narrating, and a horse walking.
05.Sleipnir [05:13] < Minute long narration/Half Decent song
06.Loki God of Fire [03:49] < A SONG! With no interruptions!
07.Blood Brothers [04:54] < Worst song on the album, just a really awful ballad.
08.Overture to Odin [03:41] < Another symphonic peice.
09.The Blood of Odin [03:57] < Another long ass narration. Though the end of the narration is pretty cool, heh.
10.Sons of Odin [06:23] < The best song on the album, easily.
11.Glory Majesty Unity [04:41] < symphonic peice/narration
12.Gods of War [07:25] < This song is ok, once again not all song
13.Army of the Dead Part 2 [02:20] < Its an Organ and a chorus... though at the end you can hear Eric do a pretty cool falsetto scream.
14.Odin [05:26] < This is ok... nothing special though.
15.Hymn of the Immortal Warriors [05:29] <I don't even know what to call this...
16.Die for Metal (Bonus Track) [05:16] < A "Chant" metal track. This is pretty cool, but lacking something. Will admit Eric's Falsetto's make my balls shrivel...
In the end, with the exception of a couple tracks, the album is really boring...
