Ásmegin-Hin Vordende Sod & Sø (2003)

Phenomenal debut full-length from Norway's Ásmegin. Absolutely stellar-quality folk/viking metal. Heavily nordic feel, with fiddles, accordions, and the like, mixed with killer riffs, and occasionally quite brutal black/death metal influence, ethereal acoustic passages with distant, tasteful female vocals, and an overall very epic, atmospheric listen. HIGHLY recommended, for all fans of folk/viking metal, ranging from Ensiferum, all the way to Amon Amarth. Napalm Records.
