Album Review
Ragnar of Ravensfjord
Reviewed 2007-01-15
Slamming, potent mix of black and death metal. Features members of Acid Bath and Soilent Green. Stacked, thick riffs, rabid, semi-audible vocals & clear production is what you can expect. Remicient of Celtic Frost, Immortal & 1349.

(((((1)))) Crushing riff, tons of heavy parts. Solid mix of death & black metal.
(((((2))))) Torrential bombast, killer black metal. As “true” as it gets!
((((3)))) Straight-up Celtic Frost homage right down to the “Oühwwwd!” then moves to a killer “black n’ roll” tempo.
((((((4)))))) Forecast calls for a hailstorm of blastbeats and wicked vocals. Attack!
((((5)))) …and again “Oühwwwd!” This time it’s a little more like awesome, early 90’s death/thrash (think: Exhorder).
((((6)))) Norwegian styled BM with more DM vocals. Nice “march of the ominous” sound.
(((7))) Mixed up tempos & vocals. On a constant thud.
(((8))) Traditional metal riffage with rockin’ vibe.
((((9)))) Blazing, blizzard-like black/death. Totally captivating riffs from start to finish.
(((10))) Short instrumental interlude with a lotta riffs.
(((((11))))) Blasting, intense & thrashy and thick breakdowns that stick in yer head.
