I like to imagine the guys in Wilderun were all sitting around the dinner table, probably with some really fantastic beer in one hand and a leg of lamb in the other hand. One of them says, "I used to love folk metal but these days it's getting lame; everyone is doing the same tired shit over and over." "Yeah?" say the other guys to nods of agreement. They all rip a bite of lamb off the bone and contemplate this statement. One guy has an epiphany and breaks the silence with, "What if? what if we made a folk metal album that wasn't lame?

It changes constantly but as of THIS MOMENT: Wilderun are #3 on the MS Top Albums of 2012 list and one of only two indie bands on the whole list  Talk about proud. Remember your awesome indie bands come MS Awards time! You're witnessing the future of metal

"Suncatcher" and "Storm Along" are splendid. Nice progressive folk and a pleasant exception in the genre.

There is still hope in new metal bands I see... Foh realz, I was about to give up searching for new metal bands but I'm glad that I found Wilderun! Some Fresh Metal and ffs it's actually a fresh Folk Metal band keeping the veterans standard!

Parts of this sound like one of those theatrical avant-garde bands. The album seems to get better as it goes.
