Woods Of Ypres Black metal era mixed with viking-esque echo vocals.
Awesome stuff.

Woods of Ypres is in my honest opinion superior to this, not that they play the same style, but I see the comparison thrown around a lot.
To be frank I'm disappointed with this album, I was hoping for something better.
*edit* I'm giving it some time still, due to all the good word I see this receiving all over, but I have found that people who listen to folk metal doesn't seem to be the most reliable people when it comes to music taste / reviewing... Well at least not for my taste.

If this is more l;ike black era WoY it certainly will be vastly superior to WoY's last 2/3 albums which were total shite derivative discarded crap era Katatonia and Draconian Times era Paradise Lost wannbees, but failing dismally at it.

Oh, god, no. This is NOTHING like those bands. This is pretty much folk metal.

so it is infinitely better than anything Woods Of Ypres has ever put out, wow, must give it a listen.

Honestly, Marcel, I don't know if this would be your thing or not. I don't really know how you feel about folk at all. It's pretty "blackened" at times but then a few other songs are very melodic. Check it out and let me know, I'm very curious now!!

Wow, this is certainly some pretty diverse folk. Not at all what I was expecting before clicking the play button, fortunately. Song after song I'm being caught by surprise.

Comparing this to Kentucky is a bit of an odd one I think, as that album, and the band in general, were more about the whole yokel, appalachian folk thing. I mean it was called "Kentucky" after all. I don't get the same region of folk with this as this is more your standard melodic folk you get with more or less all folky black bands. Quite different to me. Needless to say Kentucky is more my thing but this doesn't sound bad at all really.

Yes this is quite unlike Panopticon's Kentucky, but both are excellent albums in their own rights. That was a folk-laden Black Metal album, whereas this is more of a Folk Metal album with some of the elements of Black Metal which we're used to hearing in this format. But that's not to say it's familiar at all, I can't think of any other Maritime themed Metal of any sort, and we're not going to hear any tales of battlefields and mystical realms. This is much more personal and passionate than anything I've heard in the Folk category, A+!

I think this record has been inflated by users who over-exaggerate the amount of Maritime folk that is actually in this album. It's prominent, yes, and extremely well executed, but not substantially original, to be honest (coming from someone who lived in the Maritimes for a couple of years).
I'm not a huge fan of black-influenced folk metal, and this is a good record relative to some of the utter garbage that has come out the last few years. I thoroughly hope that this group has more luck than Woods did.

This is pretty incredible. Definitely tops my list of favorite albums from this year so far. Haven't been able to stand much of any folk metal releases the past few years but these guys do a great blend of folk-black. While not groundbreaking or necessarily original, it's just a damn solid and well-rounded album that ventures into several really interesting sub-genres.
