Honour Amongst Chaos is one of those albums that contain music that is very good at the specific aim that it is designed for, but would otherwise not be terribly interesting to the casual listener. Imagine, if you will, a dark forest in Northern Ireland, with a group of like-minded individuals gathering around a fire. Some of them have instruments; however, they also brought some battery-powered amps with them and now they are screaming their stories inspired by pagan beliefs at the top of their lungs. The people around the fire love it and are ecstatic; however, those poor sods in their forest cabin just one mile away could do without this kind of noise in the middle of the night. Alas, since Honour Amongst Chaos is such a specialty record, it will only really appeal to those who enjoy sitting by that fire. To everyone else, the music on this album will sound like slightly above average black metal with a folk vibe and appropriately 'folky' instruments thrown in for good measure. Songs like "Beyond The Ninth Wave", "Galloping Gaels" and "Taker Of Heads" clearly belong in that above average category. Others drag a little - "To Dine In The Otherworld" and "Elemental Chaos" would definitely benefit from meandering a little less.
Waylander's Honour Amongst Chaos is like a plastic butane lighter. It might not be exactly the same as burning your eyebrows clean off by the camp fire, but it does the trick. If having to regrow your eyebrows at a regular basis just isn't your thing, Waylander most likely won't impress, since hey, its not really a Zippo...

I bought the track Walk with Honour on iTunes and I instantly loved it, so I just bought the entire album. Hope it'll be worth it.
