What a nice surprise! You have no idea what he felt after having slipped this mcd 6 pieces in my stereo, a clever mix of black and viking metal. Forget the previous work of the Norwegian band gaps, and finally H'grimnir members (here helped by Hoest, vocalist Taake) have hit the mark, taking a big step forward from the previous album "Kaoskult. Since the initial "Asgards I Fall", the quartet of Bergen offers us his own highly personal and evocative sound, without outbursts of black folk to be counterbalanced by passages in which instruments make their appearance typical of Nordic culture, much more evocative and sometimes used in past by Quorthon, as most of his epic Bathory. The second track is a short interlude that introduces us to "Asgards Fall II, mid-time of less than 12 minutes which gives us the Helheim renewed (and at this point I can not wait to listen to the upcoming full length): the 'epic is even stronger and more echoes of "Hammerheart" of the previously mentioned are mixed with the sound Bathory the beginnings of Einherjer, mixing it all with the more folkish period Enslaved "Below the Lights." It seems to me that he was catapulted into Valhalla, with Helheim that tell the incredible exploits of the warriors described by Norse mythology, offering all sounds very melodic (bestemmia!!) But evocative, exciting and easily imprint themselves in our heads with some catchy tunes (ah second !!!); blasphemy but after all that's wrong, we try to expand a bit 'more of our mental borders and enjoy the good view of the extreme has to propose. Thunder threatening close to the track and the original trilogy, and we open the doors to the second part of the cd introduced by the breakout of "Helheim VII. And so it starts with the black of "Og Dualitet Ulver" ride that recalls the glacial riffing, but effective never too late lamented Windir close to this amazing release with "Jernskogen" remake (fairly useless) already proposed in a song ' album "Blod & Ild", a true masterpiece of Scandinavian band. If a good day starts in the morning, my hands are already rubbing waiting to hear "ok Heiðenðomr Motgangr", which probably will be the real launch pad for a band that has never been too taken into account in black international scene. The premises are all good, now we want the facts! (Francesco Scarci)
