Norway`s Arvinger plays something that I can describe as "Atmospheric Viking
Metal".The band was formed in 2000 and surprisingly they are not bad at all!
Arvinger consists of 2 talented musicians and have created 9 great viking
metal songs.Do not expect any english songs in "Helgards Fall"(although the
title is in English)because all the lyrics are written in Norwegian
Language.They have got a little originality by combining nordic folk music
with black metal.Hauk is a very talented musicians I must say.He played all
the instruments(guitars,drums,bass and also keyboard)and he wrote all the
songs.I hail him for that.The production isn`t really good(the album was
recorded at their own studio)but you can still hear everything clearly.They
have got also some guest musicians with 2 girls providing the female vocal
part."Kalt Ved Navn","Ut Fra Havn" and "Fanget Av Vinden"(fucking great
song) are some of the tracks that I enjoy listening."Helgards Fall" is
definitely worth listening,a great viking metal album that I have ever
listened coming from Norway besides Einherjer`s "Norwegian Native Art" and
of course Enslaved`s "Frost".
