Camelus Dromedarius A fun, melodic, sometimes epic pagan metal concept album with death metal and folk elements. Each track is solid, but Kvaðning is the obvious standout. That song alone puts this album up there.

An1ta This is a good folk metal album with lyrics that follows Old Norse poetic forms, telling the story of a farmer whose family is murdered, raising a her, the revenge, an inevitable death of our hero.

Ante Although the magic captured within this album may have evolved in their subsequent work, there is no replacing Baldur! The band's soul drips within this amazing piece of work! Favourite track: Kvaðning

about

Viking Metal from Iceland. An Epic Journey Through Iceland's Mythic World. From the far north of Iceland, the Viking metal horde Skálmöld springs to life with a blistering first album. "Baldur" combines melodic and powerful songwriting with an epic and chilling tale of revenge. The concept album tells the dramatic turn of events of the Icelandic Viking, Baldur. The story begins in a time of peace when Baldur, a wealthy man, has just settled down. He has much land, a loving wife, and children. Yet disaster strikes, when a demon-like creature not of this world brutally attacks his peaceful existence. His home is in ruins and, worst of all, his family dead. Finding two of his men, Gunnar Jarl and Grímur, still alive, Baldur swears revenge. Fighting their way across the harsh Icelandic landscape, the three never lose sight of their goal-a final battle against their sworn enemy. But victory comes with a prize: a prize Baldur is more than willing to pay, even with his life.
