Satyricon - The Shadowthrone
The “Shadowthrone” begins with a battle cry that leaves the listener in no doubt – this is not a joke! The anthemic feel and direct lyrics “Hvite Krists Død” has made the song a live favourite and it was once jokingly suggested by Fenriz of Darkthrone as Norwegian Black Metal’s national anthem. It’s an atmospheric and symphonic album with a strong Nordic touch. There are less acoustic guitars and medieval influences and it is harsher and grimmer than the debut "Dark Medieval Times", although it maintains the atmosphere.
CD $20

Thyrfing - Hels Vite
Thyrfing's "Hels Vite" leads the band further from their earlier Viking albums ("Valdr Galga" and "Urkraft") to a sound with more of an Enslaved influence. There is definate appeal in this album, though perhaps this is not always initially apparent.
