There
are quite many bands in the black metal field who have taken an interest in
the Nordic mythology but there are very few who have been serious about it and
who have also managed to conceive something interesting. Thyrfing is
definitely one of those who have managed to create something that they will be
remembered for in all eternity. Mixing the raw power of black metal with
classic heavy metal riffs and beautiful keyboards and folky melodies they have
put some of the best songs ever written down on this cd entitled "Urkraft"
("primordial force" in English). There are few bands who have the ability to
bring a whole new sound to this world but Thyrfing have done it and this is
definitely one of the best metal albums ever made. Except for the band's own
compositions it also contains an absolutely wonderful cover version of Gary
Moore's "Over The Hills And Far Away" (yes, the very same that Nightwish
have covered later on). Ever since they started out back in 1995 Thyrfing has
been one of the most interesting Swedish metal bands and they have now almost
reached the level of pure perfection. If you are a fan of real metal you
should get this album right away because metal doesn't get much better than
this! Stand-out tracks: "The Slumber Of Yesteryears", "Sweoland
Conqueror", "Mjölner", "Over The Hills And Far
Away".
