 "This album... is nothing but the summary, the synthesis... of that enormous class that has led the band to be acclaimed worldwide."

 "A dream, more powerful than any artificial paradise, larger than any imagination... If this isn’t genius, then please tell me what it is."

 Dive into Therion's Deggial and experience a symphonic metal journey like no other—listen now and discover the art of mystic metal!

 For me, this album is splendid.

 The sense of a quite refined class that knows how to be sad in the right way, tragic in the right way and equally obscure.

 Dive into Draconian's The Burning Halo and experience the haunting beauty of gothic doom metal today!

 This 'Farmakon' I am describing is nothing more than this: a subversion of divine balances and the nature of man and things.

 Hell is far more tangible and concrete than any idealization and happy desire.

 Dive into Skepticism’s Farmakon and experience the ultimate funeral doom journey—if you dare.

 Thyrfing decided to steer their uniqueness towards gloomier, at times apocalyptic shores.

 Originality, as demonstrated here, doesn’t only pass through the 'softening' of sounds, but also through their unexpected 'intensifying.'

 Explore Thyrfing's bold evolution—listen to Farsotstider and experience Viking metal’s darker side!

 Darkness beyond darkness, and nothing that can qualify the incredible piercing reflection that Tyranny seem to evoke note after note.

 Their only, seemingly, main influence in songwriting is the unfathomable abyss of the Providence writer.

 Dive into the abyss of Tyranny's 'Tides Of Awakening' and experience the ultimate Funeral Doom journey.

 Nowadays, listening to songs like 'To Holmgard and Beyond' is indeed a refined pleasure, reaching the point where one feels the urge to take the rusty chainmail and the chiseled sword to go fight.

 Turisas narrates a powerful Viking tale with symphonic and baroque parts that bring to mind bands like Therion, delivering robust and catchy metal anthems.

 Dive into Turisas' The Varangian Way and experience an epic Viking metal adventure today!

 The amalgamation of sounds ... project the listener into a sort of dark and indefinable Barnum Circus.

 The band today is no longer what we have learned to know over the years, but rather wants to be an example of artistic maturity and originality in its domain.

 Listen to Finntroll's Ur Jordens Djup and experience their bold, dark folk metal evolution today!

 Listening to their latest effort is always an exquisite pleasure that would be inhumane to deny to those who shudder at these things.

 With their magic, they can make the listener feel, if only they would kindly close their eyes, as if they were on the eve of a decisive and bloody battle.

 Listen to Ensiferum's Victory Songs and experience epic metal battles brought to life through powerful melodies and fierce vocals!

 "Therion... excel marvelously in this kind of subject, and the result could only be, precisely, 'Gothic Kabbalah'."

 "They are very capable of transmuting lead into gold, because everything they touch becomes a fairy tale, a magnificent symphony priceless."

 Dive into Therion's Gothic Kabbalah and experience a majestic fusion of metal, mysticism, and symphonic grandeur!

 Anyone with even a limited view of the Viking genre should take the time to listen to this magnificent band.

 I candidly nominate this album as the best of the year... Not recommended. Absolutely a must-have.

 Listen to Månegarm’s Vargstenen now and experience one of the best Viking metal albums ever made!
