Ereb Altor always promises one thing with each release: Epic, folk-blended metal inspired by the Norse legends. 'Jrtecken' shakes things up again with a true and sincere Pagan theme in its lyrics and art. Each song delivers majestic riffs and some of the best vocal work from the band. The opening track 'Avgudadyrkans Vg' builds the atmosphere before exploding into 'Queen of All Seas', the best Ereb Altor song ever, and a classic to be. Sharp heavy metal riffs, Nordic melodies, catchy choruses and pounding drums burst set the tone for the rest of the album. A song that must have made Quorthon (of the legendary Bathory) smile up in Valhalla.
