Maybe this month winner, this Fridays to, only Cloven Hoof's newest offer Heathen Cross can be close.
I like here are acoustic, neofolk, folk, black parts. Blackened folk hihi. Good album and rare case I don't bother about length.

This is a fantastic release, classic blackened epic folk with such a passionate performance, and excellent songwriting (stunning guitar solo's in particular), it's actually much better than I imagined it would be. "Awaiting The Last Dawn", "Ascending The Stellar Throne", and "I Sail On, Eternal" are highlights for me.

I love this! Classic sound that really captures the essence of "folk/viking" metal in the vein of Bathory and Primordial. Top tier black metal for everyone who likes the to be taken to the northern mountains and fly with the ravens!


Top Releases of 2024

Listened to "Godsaga" in bits and pieces vaguely in 2013 or 2014, and I remember it was very distinctive with chillin' atmosphere. It was haunting.

Do they galloping onto the same path?

Goes in my checklist.

Really fantastic album. It just has that classic black metal feel so many of their peers lack these days.

Very good album. I was really stuck on 'From the land of the North' for few days.

Great album. Some of the best black metal of this year. Didn't find any folk in this though. My favorite song will have to be, "I sail on eternal".
