    I tried to like this band some years ago. I like the christianity thing and the musicianship is good too, but... it didn't work out. Now I'm trying to like the new album. It's better, more diverse, more Black Metal. But still: doesn't work for me. I find this band to be rather, well, uninteresting. I guess it's that "Viking" thing - who defines a genre by the lyrics anyway? It's a Black Metal with some weak folk influences and lyrics about war, family and stuff. I'm kinda dissapointed.

    On The Eve Of Battle is probably the most epic track I've heard in years... nothing short of brilliant.

    Surprised to find this band was made up of Christians. Makes no difference to me, the music is still great.
