A nice EP. The title track is a lively track, band's rendition of a Russian traditional song "Valenki" sounds fun too, acoustic version of "Goi, Rode, Goi" is good, but not impressive, the same could be said about the song featuring Varg's vocalist. As for the two covers that close up the album, I like the original Svarga's song better, while the cover of Shaman's "Ođđa máilbmi" sounds really good.
