Definitely the first thing that strikes you when you see this album is the amazing cover art illustration done by Kris Verwimp, I don't know about the creative process of the artwork, by he surely captured the essence of the band in one single image: Christian forces crushed down by pagan mighty vengeance, of course the only genres that extol this kind of mentality are Black Metal and Viking Metal, both related in a very close way, but I won't be writing about that today.

This one of the best folk albums I've ever listened to.

Sadly, this album has only 1 masterpiece (Hemfärd) .. the rest is below average!

I didn't like it so much well its good we have, we have folk, but this was more close to neofolk way and same time maybe weakest bands work so far.

Well, that song doesn't differ much from other songs on this album, so I can't really understand your opinion.

This is where they started to become a tad less blackened and it's probably their most folky and melodic to date, with the violin, catchy riffs, and clean choruses making up for most of that of course. It's not necessarily their best but it's certainly a hugely enjoyable and headbangable listen regardless

They've presented some excellent and colourful cover-arts over the years as well, but this has to be my pick as favorite.
