Ah, just the thing I need to blow away the fugue clouds put in my mind and ears by the last album: some good old folk metal. Growl it there for me, buddy! Love the violin and especially, of all things, the bagpipes being used here, really gets into that folky feel that some of the bands in this genre tend to sometimes miss out on. Yeah this is great stuff; power and passion. “Emma” is a great medieval style instrumental with, I think, possibly, just bagpipes? Really enjoyed this album.
