Viking Metal seems like all the rage with the young and old now a days. There are more bands then most can fathom. And the great majority simply suck. Myrkvar does not fall under the suck category exactly but they probably are not going to wow you unless you are already into the Viking (dress up and wield your sword) scene. "Als Een Woeste Horde" opens with a less then impressive intro. Once the band actually kicks into the first real song. Titled I Viking. They do a good job at keeping it heavy for the most part of the album. But if your looking for a heavy extreme viking band anddon't want to troll through all the shit out there you might want to check out Thyrfing... ya thats right I'm recommending a different band. Myrkvar are not bad to but a bit better production and more focus on the heavy aspects of there music and less on the typical Viking samples would be more interesting.
