Best Album 2022: Månegarm

Posted on 31 December 2022 by Michel31 December 2022

And here it is: Our Best Album 2022. After Grimner and Baldrs Draumar, Månegarm is the third band which manages to reach the top of this list for the second time. Predictable? No, not really our team has totally changed since 2015 when Månegarm reached the first place with their self-entitled album.
A small disclaimer for everyone who has counted the favourite albums. You will only find four favourite albums in this list. The fifth one was The Hu ‘Rumble of Thunder’, it ended up just outside this list, but an album to check out for sure.
But our undoubted winner of 2022 is:

Manegarm - Ynglingaättens Öde

1. Månegarm – ‘Ynglingaättens Öde’
A clear winner this year? Yes with 39 points Månegarm received the most points by far. Two times voted Best Album, so there is no doubt about it.
Matthew wrote: “Hard to believe these Swedish metal heads have been putting out music for nearly 25 years.​ Any fan can easily see the maturation of their music over the years, and ‘Ynglin­gaättens​ Öde’ is by far a reflection on how their concepts, song writing and mu­sic styles have matu­red over the years, in a great way.​” “Many of the other tr­acks follow the same template giving us traditional​ folk me­lodies with heavy ri­ffs and harsh but me­lodic vocals.​ ​ It is apparent that Månegarm has put a lot of thought, emoti­on and pageantry into ‘Ynglingaättens​ Öde’ to create a succ­essful record.”

Congratulations Månegarm!!!

Alvenrad – ‘Veluws IJzer’ (2022)

Posted on 10 October 2022 by Michel21 December 2022

Rating: 9/10 Release: 23 September 2022 Label: Independent At its heart Alvenrad’s sound is a bombastic take on melodic blackened folk metal, but they enrich and elevate it with innovative prog flourishes, orchestral strings, wind instruments and vocals ranging from rasping black metal to soaring clean singing and choral chants. … Continue reading →

Alvenrad – ‘Heer’ (2017)

Posted on 25 November 2017 by Michel4 May 2021

Rating: 9/10 Release: 8 December 2017 Label: Trollmusic There have been quite a bit of bands that have incorporated retro/progressive music into folk metal…..killer acts like Wilderun, Eikthyrnir, Lör and maybe most notably the epic Borknagar. If you haven’t heard Alvenrad then you should know that they no doubt should … Continue reading →

Alvenrad – ‘Habitat’ (2014)

Posted on 13 March 2014 by Michel29 January 2021

Rating: 6/10 Release: 4 April 2014 Label: Trollmusic The Dutch language is a sensitive subject. Most of the times, music that’s sang in Dutch isn’t really my cup of tea. There are just a few bands out there which can convert our strange, terrible-sounding language into something that’s beautiful or … Continue reading →
