The guitars deliver you harsh power chords who simply destroy combined with some high shrieking melodies on the lead guitar. The drums and bass guitar pound their way through out the record who support the songwriting in a most excellent manner, where the vocals sound filthy and aggressive as ever before. - “Sword of Vengeance” in all its glorification is an ultimate dedicated in the name of Loki and the old ways of Paganism. Fantastic 2nd wave Pagan Black Metal is what you can expect on this record, something that every old school fan will surely enjoy from start till finish. - Dedication to Loki. - Recommended if you like: Angantyr, Arckanum, Bathory, Domgård, Helrunar, Isvind, Kampfar, Skogen, Svikt, etc..
