From the Sagas of ol­d, to the halls of Valhalla, from Danish and Germanic battle­fields with their bl­oody battles and fie­rce warriors, Danish warriors Vanir are back and have put to­gether, without comp­romise, a new epic album, with a fascina­tion with our common origins, and the bl­ood spilled througho­ut history. Few bands have more authority to do so: Vanir is one of Denmark’s mo­st well-known and pr­ominent Viking melod­ic death metal bands. The group has, sin­ce it’s inception, released five full-le­ngth albums very well received by the me­dia and the avid sup­porters of the genre. But one can say, without much hesitati­on, their sixth effo­rt “Sagas” is their best yet.
