An overlooked jewel... Correct me if I am wrong, but seriously, how many of those "core" fans of bands like Ensiferum or Equilibrium have already noticed Thyrfing exists and how many have listened to this great album? I believe not enough and I think it is unfair. Nowadays the genre called "folk metal" is quite popular, or more likely - "trendy," and there are tons of more or (usually) less quality bands playing in that style. Thyrfing may seem like they have kinda drowned in that flood but they were one of the first.

I think the synths can get overbearing at times so they kind of remind me of Dimmu Borgir. I think the producer also worked on Enthroned Darkness Triumphant which is why it's very keyboard orientated, but it's still a solid album, lot's of enjoyable melodies and a great Viking themed album.
