Nordland Vol.1 - Bathory

Excellent return to the Viking metal style, sorting out some of its inherent problems.

Songs tend to over-run, and heavier songs seem rather impersonal.

Nordland Vol.2 - Bathory

Some songs are waaaaaaaaaaaaay too long.

Mirror, Mirror - Blind Guardian

3 Blind Guardian classics and a faithful cover song.

Short, hard to find and not really worth the effort.

Celtic Winter - Graveland

Great pagan atmosphere.

Poor production spoils effect of instruments.

Excellent tracks

None
