Armada was a damn surprise. I only heard it a few times before knowing it was going to have to be bought. What a magical album, excellent. Four vocal styles used if you listen carefully!
A friend of mine was talking up Kampfar for ages to me actually. I didnt know much about them, but as soon as I heard the name something told me I was going to react strangely to them.
I got hold of Kvass, and to be honest, I found it to be unoriginal and boring.
Its intentions are good, the style itself isnt bad. Its just the execution. I love mid/slow paced Black Metal, but Kvass is just... lifeless. Its like the band are coming down from Valium during the recording.
I will say though: the beginning of Lyktemenn is good, and the song is good too. I just find the album after this gets boring. Its like they havent explored their own style properly or something.
