    EAC | FLAC | Image (Cue&Log) ~ 534 Mb | Complete Scans | MP3 (CBR320/Stereo) ~ 161 Mb
    Genre: Epic Viking/Folk Metal | Label: Napalm/Mazzar | # MZR CD 501 | 01:06:38

    Skálmöld is an Icelandic sextet that released it début last year via the Faeroese label Tutl, a label that unfortunately only distributes its releases over the Faeroe Islands and Iceland. The big Austrian label Napalm Records has now taken care of the band and has released Baldur worldwide. And that is nothing less than what Baldur deserves.

    Baldur is an album that, as the band had announced, follows the strict rules of traditional Icelandic poetry. It's quite a bummer my Icelandic isn't as good as it could be, but that's the way things are. The album tells the tale of Viking Baldur, whose family is killed by a demon. The Viking begins a quest to meet with his sworn enemy, kills him, dies and enters Valhalla. The good thing about this album is that it immediately absorbs you into this atmosphere of storytelling. In opener Heima you hear an older man sing a song for some children in the warmth of the hearth. Everything is right here: you here the echoes from the building they're sitting in, the children who sing along, the crackling of the fire and even the cries of a baby. A very nice way to begin an album, and it adds to the variation on the album.

    After Heima begins the metal, metal supported by keys and an oboe, yes. The oboe you can hear in Árás, or in the intro of Kvaðning. It may sound strange but this peculiar sound that is used sporadically really adds to the quality of the music. Not that the music supports on it, because Skálmöld makes its music very interesting, in a way only few bands can. There is definitely an accent on the instrumental part of the music, as most of the songs have long parts without vocals and thus where the band can show its mastery of the instruments. These parts may last for quite a while, as in Kvaðning, but they are really interesting. The many changes in tempo, instruments used and melodies makes that a single song has much more to offer than you can absorb in a single listening session.

    To conclude: Baldur is a rollercoaster ride of an album: during more than an hour the band fascinates you with only interesting songs. The story you may not understand if you don't speak Icelandic, but the music takes you. The band members show themselves masters of their instruments and that can be heard in the long instrumental parts. I'm already looking forward to Skálmöld's next release!
