'Twilight of the Gods,' but lacks some of that album's majesty through doing so. Similarly, there's a reliance on old tricks such as the prominence of sound effects in most songs, including the legendary galloping and in this album, prominent woodland effects taken straight from 'Blood on Ice.' The rare faster sections are effective at breaking things up, but never seem as interesting as the slower, more folky work that dominates, and are thus relied on less frequently.

Nordland Vol.1 - Bathory: Glorious Return of the Vikings (619 words)

Rating:
'Norland' is the final, uncompleted project in the illustrious and multi-genre-defining musical career of Quorthon, a shameless return to his popular Viking metal style of the early nineties following experimentation with thrash through the rest of the decade that didn't prove as satisfying. Taking the basic sound of 'Blood on Ice' and mixing it with 'Hammerheart' grandeur and industrial thrash, the epic Nordland saga was intended to span four albums, but was cut short by Quorthon's untimely death in 2004.

Products similar to Nordland Vol.1 - Bathory
Final masterpiece of unrelenting Viking metal, less showy and more atmospheric. 
Some songs are waaaaaaaaaaaaay too long. 3 Blind Guardian classics and a faithful cover song. Short, hard to find and not really worth the effort. Great songs None really Highlights great songs from the longer album, with some generous extras. Hard to come by, and the 'Bright Eyes' edit gets on my pecs. Creative and distinctive fusion of metal and symphony. Acted interludes are unnecessary and distracting. An excellent rock album, fantastic from start to finish. Some may be put off by the musical change in direction that Avenged Sevenfold took here.Throbbing Gristle: Part Two: The Endless Not
None
Halflife - Lacuna Coil
A couple of decent songs. All pretty samey.
Catalyst - New Found Glory
A terrific album of bouncy pop punk fun. If you dislike nasal vocal performances then you probably won't like this.
Discouraged Ones - Katatonia
Successful change of direction without losing artistic integrity. Songs tend towards similarity and over-repetition.
In A Reverie - Lacuna Coil
Average gothic doom metal. Still authentic to the genre.
Into The Purple Valley - Ry Cooder
Great Guitar Playing and Interpretation of American Classics Vocals occasionally a bit dodgy
Last Fair Deal Gone Down - Katatonia
Improved instrumentation, tighter focus. Most songs follow the same structure.
Swamplord - Kalmah
Meaner and more reliable equivalent to Children of Bodom. It's still partly a copy-cat act.
Swampsong - Kalmah
Greater range of styles and speeds. Neither extreme is particularly pleasing.
