Authentically recreates the classic metal spirit. Stuck in the past.

Atmospheric metal for Tolkien fans. No one else will find much here.

Folk elements hint towards an interesting new direction. Still too rooted in gothic- and nu-metal to really impress.

Bonus DVD, Some songs are excellent, Bonus tracks - Joey and The Distance Lacks Bon Jovi PassionSome of these songs should never be touched

Some great heavy metal, A wide range of styles, Value for money Rushed and unnecessaryOnly draws from 3 albumsSome very dodgy tracks

lots of energy, good production, big hits too commercialnot enough metal

A nice mix of Bathory styles, with some more Viking metal classics. The thrash songs aren't as impressive.
