An album that all extreme metal fans can enjoy!.......2007-01-17

I don't know what to classify Asmegin as, maybe death metal meets Folk/Power with black metal vocals at times. Regardless, this album covers every branch of extreme metal in the best and smoothest way. I honestly think this is one of the best metal albums that i have ever heard. The production quality is great, the singing ranges from death grunt to Emperor-ish male clean singing/chanting, to black metal screeching and even beautiful female vocals; in fact my favorite song is track 3 which is done by a female and is extremely dark and haunting. If you like black, death, folk, or power metal, get this cd you will LOVE it.

One of the best debut albums I've ever heard!.......2006-09-03

Just adding to the rave reviews; if this is just a debut, I wonder what else these amazing musicians are capable of! I do hope they don't make us wait too much longer to hear what's next! The musicianship here is awesome; the range of instruments and vocals is amazing. There's black and death vocals on the heavy side, plus great clean male vocals and beautifully dreamy female ones. A song can go from brutal melodic death in one moment to a bouncy, heavenly folk sound in the next; but these transitions are all done with perfect, harmonious fluidity!

Also, I just want to add that the CD booklet is also very nicely done, a lot better than what you often get with a CD. There's really really good artwork on most pages, along with nice photos of the band members.

Addendum: It is unusual for me to do this, but after months of listening to this CD, I had to *emphasize* how amazing it is. It has grown into one of my favorite albums of all time. On the first few listens, the whole CD was good but there were a few stand-out songs. Now, nothing stands out especially because *EVERYTHING IS PERFECT*. I loved it the first time I listened to it, and since then it has grown on me even more. The musicianship on this CD is at a level where it gives the impression that these fellows went over every note with a fine-toothed comb until it was exactly right!

Admittedly, most of my reviews for CD's are 5 stars, but that is only because I generally don't review something unless it's SO GOOD that it moves me to share my impression of the greatness of the album with the rest of the world. That is why I have so few reviews lower than 5 stars; lesser albums simply don't inspire me to review them very often. I also have to add that I generally don't expect *perfection* from a 5-star album. I always allow for a couple of songs that are not-so-good, whatever, because usually absolute perfection is simply not possible!

But once in a while, a CD comes along that is just so surprisingly perfect... That it goes ABOVE AND BEYOND my expectations of what a 5-star album should be... that I wish I could add on more stars! Well, Asmegin's debut certainly fits that description. Really, I recommend this to any metalhead. Listen carefully, and your appreciation of what music can be will be lifted to levels beyond previous comprehension...

best folk metal in years.......2006-05-19

this is the best folk metal album made in the past few years. the main reason i call it the best is because its not just another power metal band with a fiddle or a finntroll clone, this band sounds like asmegin, not skyclad, elvenking, or any of the blackened folk bands like agalloch or old ulver.
Asmegin has brutal fast parts, and amazing musianship. buy it. you have no reason not to.

AARRGHHH! EPIC EPIC EPIC.......2005-10-02

put this cd in a huge stereo system, get drunk, put it on the last 15 seconds of song number 10 and your head will roll off! GUARANTEED! Also as soon as the vocals enter in song 4 I either want to cry for joy or murder an english crusader!

"Hin vord...?" Someone help with the pronunciation.......2005-05-21

Well, another folk metal band in the vein of Thyrfing, Falkenbach, and Moonsorrow. They have the great folk elements like the clean sung vocals, the instruments of course, and atmosphere. The hard hitting parts are borderline black metal with hints of viking metal (i.e. Amon Amarth) but don't get me wrong, they're not just an amalgam of all these different sounds, they are unique. I am disappointed that I don't understand any of it since Norwegian is not one of the languages I speak, but that allows me to focus on the music itself and appreciate the music in its most raw and visceral meaning. A definite reccomendation to those who want to add something to their collection that would fit nicely in the slot next to the aforementioned bands.
