Хронологически этот дик попал ко мне после "Dodsfard". То есть были определенные ожидания. Когда слушал все ловил себя на мысли "они ли это?". Море агресии, бешеный ритм, и только местами викинги. Короче не понравился мне первый тур. Заводя шарманку по новой убрал трафарет предыдущего, переключил скорость восприятия на повышенную передачу, сцепление..., шестеренки с хрустом встали на свои места. И вот тогда понесло со страшной силой. Казалось оседлал ураган. Два дня не слазил с диска. Да и по сей день держу его на растоянии вытянутой руки.

Imagine a blend of Mithotyn, Amon Amarth, Thyrfing a touch of Skyclad (violin), Nightwish (Tarja style singing) and with a subtle hint of Finntroll to season, topped off with some really atmospheric natural sounds and you have M?negarm’s sound on this album. To be sure it sounds a mess but trust me, this time it works and this is without question my favourite VM disc to date. The title track begins with the sound of the sea crashing onto the rocks before launching into a typical Mithotyn sound. This time the female vocals are somewhat more appropriately used than on the debut (and much less often) and the album is fairly intense throughout, apart from the obligatory (it seems) acoustic track, in this case F?dernes Jord, and some more acoustic elements that give it a nice contrast of light and shade. The next song, Vargt?rne, more than makes up for this; opening with a howling wolf and it smokes along very nicely, before the slow mid-section and ending complemented with some more tasteful howling wolves in the background. The albums closer Vinternattskv?de is my favourite track as it builds towards a nice ending, but are there many other worthies on the album. My biggest regret is that my promo copy has no lyrics and as this is more akin to an aural play I have a hunch there is something to be added from liner notes etc. I know that I mention Mithotyn a lot when talking of M?negarm but although they sound more like Mithotyn that anyone else, the other elements in their music give them a far richer and diverse sound an they are well worth checking out. It’s just a shame that the female vocals will put off many people.
