'Nordland II' is more refined and disconcertingly elegiac, more in line with the atmospheric 'Twilight of the ... more ... Gods' but continuing to possess the heavier edge, and this extensive brooding and grandeur results in some songs being quite unreasonably overlong. Normally I might have deducted a star for this somewhat alienating drawback, but it's the last album Quorthon would ever produce, the final chapter of his fantastic legacy, and I enjoy every false ending and desperate extended solo that 'The Wheel of Sun' has to offer.
Extensive length doesn't become an issue until the later songs, the earlier sea-bound tales being more co...more |

Nordland Vol.2 - Bathory: Quorthon's Final Legacy (717 words)

Rating:
'Nordland II' was intended to be the second in an epic quadrilogy celebrating myriad Ancient Viking themes, but Quorthon's death cut it short in 2004. As the final album of the talented Swedish musician's incredible career, this ranks among his very best and succeeds its immediate predecessor in a tragic way that makes me long to hear the albums Quorthon is currently writing up in Valhalla. While the grand, long, heavy and folky Viking metal style has an inherently selective audience, an off-shoot of black metal that even hardcore black metal fans wouldn't go near, it's one of my very favourite of all the stupidly named metal sub-genres, and Quorthon was the ...

Revival of the class sound, unhindered by the curse of the nineties. 
Stuck in a time warp, and not the best example of the genre. Fantastic Songs which will ammuse you for hours .... Nicely captures Blind Guardian's lighter side without being completely dishonest. Final song is a wasted opportunity. 3 Blind Guardian classics and a faithful cover song. Short, hard to find and not really worth the effort. Highlights great songs from the longer album, with some generous extras. Hard to come by, and the 'Bright Eyes' edit gets on my pecs.The Great Cold Distance - Katatonia
Consistent. Very dull and repetitive.
Viva Emptiness - Katatonia
At least there's no rap, I guess? Irritating pandering to the mainstream rock audience.
Armada - Keep Of Kalessin
Strong, creative black metal, without over-reliance on symphonic elements. Sometimes, you might fancy something a little simpler.
Chaos Is My Name - Khlyst
Something different. There's a reason no other album sounds like this.
Coma Of Souls - Kreator
Angry thrash classics, great musical performance. Repetitive rhythms.
Einsamkeit - Lacrimosa
Goth - 2004
Extreme Aggression - Kreator
One of the all time top 10 of thrash metal albums None
II - Krux
Classic doom style for classic doom fans. Lacks original ideas.
Into The Oriental - Kadenzza
Creative and well-balanced symphonic black metal. Electronic drums are disappointing, and longer songs don't hold together as well.
Crucify My Heart - Lullacry
Something ever-so-slightly different for gothic metal fans. Run-of-the-mill instrumentation.
