Through a combination of German and Icelandic heritage, this is the album that is still regarded today as a milestone in viking metal. With more mythical lyrics based around Norse Mythology, it’s Icelandic viking black metal band, Falkenbach. Recorded from the highly rare, clear vinyl pressing, It’s Donar’s Oak.

Donar’s Oak delivers more chanted rhythms through acoustic touches with the guitars on arpeggio in this executed number. Then, the combination of electric guitars joining in with the acoustic strings forms a duet of pleasures with a strong viking presence.
