As spring is now attempting to make an appearance, it inevitably means allergy season. Living in a perpetual, sniffly, itchy, haze isn’t really conducive to formulating anything interesting to say and thus I feel like I’ve been somewhat neglectful in writing lately. I thought I’d share a few more tidbits regarding upcoming releases that I’ve been watching for lately; at least until I feel that I have something a little more profound to write about.
Månegarm - Legions Of The North
Track Listing:
- Arise
- Legions of the North
- Helvegr
- Hordes of Hel
- Tor Hjälpe
- Wake The Gods - Bonus Track
- Vigverk
- Sons Of War
- Echoes From The Past
- Falled
- Forged In Fire
- Raadh
Release date: The end of June
I really hope that I will be able to get a copy of this near the release date without having to do some serious searching. I do already own a few Månegarm releases, with one more in the mail that should have been here a few days ago. The cover artwork on this is stunning. If I could find a large version of it, I would definitely hang it on my wall.

If you are interested and have not had a chance to check out any of the album trailers for Children Of Bodom’s upcoming album, here’s the second one. While it does not really state anything that has not been stated before, it only takes a few minutes to watch. I am left wondering if the experimental style alluded to in this album will make it sound less like the Children Of Bodom that I like, but I am hoping for a solid album with an old Bodom feel to it.

Finntroll’s Blodsvept was released in North America on Tuesday. I pre-ordered it after discovering that ordering it online was going to be the only way that I could get ahold of the album in a timely manner. Well, it still hasn’t arrived in the mail although it was shipped over a week ago. I’m hoping the lovely US Customs people haven’t decided to hold onto it for a while (or charge me extra duty), or that Canada Post hasn’t lost it. I guess I should be more patient, but I want to listen to it now, dammit! Anyways, Finntroll has released their latest video to coincide with the album. It’s in typical, crazy Finntroll fashion, as per usual. I’m still chuckling at the floppy troll ears.
