Free Music Review: To Holmgard!
Hit: 5 Stars
Wow, I love this album so much! I've had it for little over a week now. My only disappointment is that at a length around ~40 minutes, this album is kind of short. I don't know how to describe this music because it's a little different from what I usually listen to (Nightwish, Within Temptation, Lacuna Coil).
The singer has a nice voice whether singing or screaming. I think this album is something like symphonic/power/folk metal (which equals Viking metal, I guess?). Well, listening to it makes me feel like I'm watching a battle movie. I'm probably better off describing each song:
To Holmgard and Beyond- A fantastic intro to the album. Nice blend of symphonic metal with male-choir-sounding thing.
A Portage To The Unknown- Slightly different stylistically from the above. Not as upbeat. It sounds like a sailor's song(?). Hopefully, you get the idea. Screaming involved, but it'll be fun... :)
Cursed Be Iron- Heavy. Haha, how else can I describe the beginning? This song contrasts heavy and screaming with folk and regular singing voice.
Fields of Gold- This upbeat sounding. Nothing too different from previous.
In the Court of Jarisleif- Wow. Okay, this song is fun. The song is about a celebration I think, and the Vikings are toasting their host. Very folk-esque. The singing style is a little different towards the end (maybe a guest vocalist)-think Spanish male opera singer...maybe. Great song.
Five Hundred and One- Kind of resembles the second track. There's a really fun part in this song where it sounds like they're taking roll-call or something. Haha. The ending is good, too, when the group breaks into chorus.
The Dnieper Rapids- Stylistically, this song is pretty awesome. The title is very fitting especially for the beginning and other in between sections. It's more obvious that they use a female and male choir, and the sopranos are easily heard.
Miklagard Overture- Very much the symphonic metal song. It's pretty awesome.
Favorites (relative, actually, because I love them all!): The Dnieper Rapids, In the Court of Jarisleif, Miklagard Overture
Ahhh...don't know it that helps. But I was dying to review it. I love the whole album! I can't wait for future material!
