Went out and bought Vinland Saga today. The whole album seems to be about a Viking and his group's journey and his thoughts about the woman he left behind. The 3rd track, Elegy, is her prayer for his return him wondering if he'll see her again.
The album is fairly mellow considering that it's baisically a black metal band with her as the vocalist. There are two track where Alexander Krull lends his growl but neither of the tracks are a ripping pace.
Wether they'll make it in the US is doubtful since the labels here are pushing top 40 type crap :roll: and i dont' think anyone on Napalm Records is ever going to be played on the radio here. Which is just as well because 13 year olds tend to latch onto radio bands and next thing you know their concerts are being held in all ages venues and you're the only one over 15 in attendance :roll:
Next on the list of cds to buy is their first album, Lovelorn; one of Atrocity's albums and another CoF
