Ever heard an album so bitchin' it just makes you want to dance till you drop? Man, this is definitely one of those albums. It's a unique blend of black metal, traditional folk music and “humppa”, a Finnish type of polka music, and it's just as cool as it sounds. It's also among the very few albums I know that sound upbeat and hella brutal at the same time. The only weak moment on the album is “Merknadsvisan”, which is over a minute of unnecessary interlude and about forty seconds of song. Still...
5/5
