Oakenshield is a relatively new English "Viking metal" band and this is technically the first release, although two CDs have been released under the former name, Nifelhel. Like an increasing number of bands, Oakenshield is manned by just the one person - which obviously brings its advantages and also disadvantages. Ben Corkhill, the man with the master plan, is very interested in Viking and old Norse mythology and obviously this comes across in the music with the lyrics very well - the title of this demo and his upcoming album, "Gylfaginning" is the first book of the Prose Edda containing tales of the creation and destruction of Earth according to Norse mythology.
