Finally available again.\u003cbr\u003eWe know we cannot be the only persons out there to be confused when the term 'Viking Metal' or variations of it are thrown around. Most of the time, viking metal simply refers\u003cbr\u003eto the lyrical or theatrical themes a band uses, and really doesn't define a sound specifically. It is nice to know what to expect from a band when you read about their genre, but\u003cbr\u003eleaves the question open what a true viking metal band should sound like.\u003cbr\u003eEnter the Swedish metal band, Ereb Altor. After Ereb Altor's fourth full length release of 'Fire Meets Ice'. one can now say with certainty that we know what viking metal is. The\u003cbr\u003ealbum is absolutely flawless in blending genres, to the point that the only genre to describe it would be viking or even 'Scandinavian' metal as the band calls themselves. There\u003cbr\u003eare definite influences present from black metal, Bathory particularly. The black metal is so drenched in doom, while the near constant keyboard accompaniment and clean vocal\u003cbr\u003eharmonies really bring an epic feel to it all.\u003cbr\u003eThe sheer tone of the album exclusively is one of adventure and unmapped terrain. It feels as if you are setting sail, probably west, into unknown waters to face unbeknownst peril.\u003cbr\u003eContinuing on through the album, the songwriting sets up a slow constant march, as if you're trudging on through your hidden pain and sadness, pushed throughout the songs\u003cbr\u003eby the great drum and string work. The haunting yet driving elements to this album are truly what makes it so outstanding. If you like epic metal, or maybe dark and doomy black\u003cbr\u003emetal, this album will totally work for you.\u003cp\u003eThe Gathering of Witches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDance of Darkness\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDispellation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoatmans Call\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Mistress of Wisdom\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI Djupet S\\xc3\\xa5 Svart\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeven\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55127848714625,"sku":"1410548","price":9.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/61ZruC80flL._SL1500.jpg?v=1766723137","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/1410548","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
