Wyrd - Heathen LP

The music and lyrics complete each other, composing painful sorrow or aggressive rage behind its story with a pulsating power as it nears the end, till we arrive at their victory over the Christian hordes. Narquath repeats the verses with croaking black metal vocals and to this the sound of his normal clear voice, makes a parallel - as between the pain of the struggle and the firm determination to go on. The roaring of the waves on the stormy seas, the metallic ringing of the swords and the sound of the crackling fire round out the story and complete the mood of the song
