(review) Thousand Year War – ‘Nidhöggr’

Thousand Year War are hailing from USA and apparently there are only two entities in this band, namely Hiram Lohr-Guitars, Keys, Bass and Bryan Arant- Drums. This is band’s second EP and it contains five songs of pagan Viking metal. Some of the song parts reminded me of Bathory a lot, like ‘Kingdom Of Nastrond’. I love the mixture of screeching vocals with clean sung parts and you can understand what is being sung most of the time. Music? A mixture of melodic death/black metal with pagan Viking metal and guitar and keyboard melodies are very catchy and get into your ear like for example excellent title song. The music is warrior pride and aggressive, but at the same time has that melancholy in guitar riffs and sometimes sadness, at least I hear it like that. My personal favorites are the title song and ‘Hammer to the Heart of Christ’. Great pagan Viking metal indeed!
