This is a short teaser for the upcoming full-length debut from Swedish Viking metallers Myhrding.
The songs on this self-titled EP are all incredibly short, with the exception of Irrblosset Och Älvan which clocks in at just over three and a half minutes and the almost-four-minute-long Dimmu Borgir cover Alt Lys Er Svunnet Hen. The rest of the tracks are lucky to break a minute and a half and this lends the songs an air of being unfinished. Perhaps they truly are teasers of longer songs?
However, crammed into the 14 minute running time of this EP is a real taster of awesome Viking metal. If the full-length capitalizes on the promise show in this EP then we're in for a treat when its released!
Catchy melodies and good riffs combined with some excellent snarling vocals give this one a bit of a Dissection feel in parts. I found all of the songs enjoyable and can only say that I would have loved them to be longer! Ok, its a little generic but to be honest I frankly couldn't give a damn when the music is this good.
Despite the quality of music on this EP its not really one I would advise you to buy, unless you really want to own that Dimmu cover, and my rating will reflect this. At just 14 minutes long you'd be best waiting for the full album. You can check out the songs on Myspace, so you may as well just give 'em a go there. Hurry up and release the full-length!
