User Album Review
As with the past few releases, Ereb Altor unveils an album with a few high-level odes to the distant past, full of emotion, power and glory, and the remainder is good but somewhat less essential. If they ever write an entire album on the same plane as “Bloodline,” Earth will enter a new Viking age and steel will be the new bitcoin. Until that fateful day, you can count on these guys to throw a helluva keg party on the burning, bloodstained shores of conquest. Hails, horns, hobbits.
Ulfven is their latest attempt to fuse old school first wave black metal with epical Viking chants and hymnals, and as with most of their releases, it works more often than not with occasional moments of true brilliance and Norse fury.
Worth noting is the above-average production and sound. Though nominally a black metal opus. Ulfven doesn’t go in for the usual crap-tastical production, offering instead a deep, fairly dynamic and warm sonic tapestry which allows the epic scope of the material to shine brightly. I especially like the snap and pop of the drums and the low-end thud on the heavier tracks. -- Reviewed by angrymetalguy.com
