Sword Songs follows similar formulas, though the album does introduce a few atypical elements from time to time.

Awesome, I will be brave and say this is bands best album, a but less doom more heavy but still it has epic touch and combination of song writing and catchy lyric parts sounds good, a bit 80's MTV style. Still good one Viking, home theme album
I will play this a lot
