This album reminds of the the 15th century when me and my father would raid the coasts of scandinavia with our viking friends. All in the name of Thor and Heidevolk!

Imo it does. And if they're not fromthere they should sing about viking themes and use viking instrumentation and have some sort of viking music going on which Heidevolk doesn't at all. It's all pagan folk metal both lyrically and musically.

Posts: 1185 Written by JCJen7 on 25.02.2011 at 08:12 First of all the age of Vikings was dead long before the 15th century and secondly Vikings CAME from scandinavia, so why would they raid they homelands?? they raided the british isles, the iberian peninsula and the rest of europe and slightly beyond. Heidevolk does have some Viking themes in their music but its minimal so I wouldnt consider them "Viking Metal". Instead they are pagan folk, in fact Heidevolk translated to English literally means Pagan Folk.

Cool conversation, but to me I cN say pagan prefix fits in here better. Another good album, sad I don't understand Dutch.
