This is a demo CD we received from Norway with a nice folkish, "cold" sleeve, but unfortunately no other information is provided. Anyway, to me this is the best CD of all I reviewed within the last month. Folk-metal the Norwegian way, female vocals mostly, some influences mainly by Storm (the vocalist's voice also resembles a little bit to Kari's), tons of violin, but used in a very good manner, some "black" male vocals, cold and dark atmosphere, and four very good compositions of four minutes each in average consist this very nice work. A special comment should be done on "I Lytinne Tva", the first of the four tracks, which is a real masterpiece! We should expect much from them in the near future and a contract with a major label must be offered to the band immediately! I suggest that you contact them now! 8/10
