NORDHEIM “Lost In The North”

NORDHEIM
“Lost In The North”
(Maple Metal Records)
Folk metal has literally exploded in the last couple of years. Nordheim can best be described as folk metal. I don’t know why but I get a Korpiklani feel to the band. That it is more party than battle over them. More mead flowing than bloodshed. This is the kind of metal that I can stomp my feet to and feel jolly in a none comical way. This is metal that is full of life and that feel invigorating. That it is basically black metal with elements that can be labeled folk is of minor interest. This is metal for those of you who like Immortal, Arkona and any band that is closely similar to those two. This is metal that puts a smile on your face. And that can’t be a bad thing, can it? I’m glad this came my way. Anders Ekdahl
