The album opens with the strongest song, which is naturally their new song, a jaunty and up-tempo pagan metal song replete with fiddle and clear (although slightly out of tune) vox. Some judicious editing would have been welcome, as it does drag on unnecessarily for a bit. This is immediately followed by a "special version" of "Het bier zal weer Vloeien". Now, my Dutch is not the strongest, but "bier" is rather unambiguous, and although it is a more downbeat number, it is no less suitable for ale-swigging.

In keeping with the nationalist tenor of heathenism, Heidevolk have opted to cover "Vulgaris Magistralis", originally by fellow countrymen Normaal, who are apparently Dutch rock legends. Not in any way related to pagan metal, Normaal's chugging thrash rhythms immediately mark this as a cover.

Overall, I will have to recommend the band, who will be a welcome addition to the pagan / folk / Viking pantheon; but it may be more worthwhile to await the arrival of their next full-length, rather than to purchase this MCD.
