Since the early ‘90s, these berserk Swedish Viking metalheads have been harnessing rage as explosive as their Middle-earth volcano namesake. The pulverising pagans, led by Johan Hegg and his soul-crushing growl, combine elements of black and death metal on tracks like the dark, driving battle cry “The Pursuit of Vikings” and the relentless “Asator”. Their rapid-fire drums and onslaughts of wild, blistering guitar on songs like “War of the Gods” ensure these metal warriors a seat in Valhalla.
