New Frosthardr!

Sounds great! I honestly didn't know that they were still a band. It seems like it's been a while since they last released material.

[Kerrick]

Indeed, Varg came out in 2007.  Though supposedly... they recorded a full-length and "released" it super exclusively some years ago, if I recall correctly.  I remember some chatter about it a while ago but haven't seen any evidence of it actually existing so I dunno...  Maybe this is from that and it's just now finally getting a proper release?

Confirmed from Nordic Mission's FB page: the album that was "released" at Elements Of Rock some years ago is now FINALLY getting a proper release: December 1st of this year!!!

WOW! That’s something I wasn’t expecting. Saw the video on Facebook, and now this. Things are getting serious.

[Kerrick]

For sure!  It's released as of yesterday.  I think I'll wait to order it from Metal Helm once they get it though to avoid the high shipping rates from Norway.  (They confirmed they'll be distributing it, though I don't know when...)

[Zymologist]

New song sounds good.

Metal Helm posted this for preorder yesterday; I got it ordered.

[Kerrick]

I saw that!  I'm gonna order soon, I think with a Dalit shirt.    I just gotta figure out which free CD to get...  I was gonna go for the Abominio album though the song titles seem a bit "edgy" ("Your Jesus Is Dead," etc.) and I can't find the lyrics anywhere.  Conversely... I was looking again at Demoniciduth whose lyrics I really dig.  I remember there were some fans of it on the old forum.  You have that one, right Adam?  How has it stood the test of time in your opinion?

EDIT: pre-ordered Frosthardr along with a Dalit shirt!  I opted for the Demoniciduth CD as my free CD choice.

[MetalPioneer]

Any news on if this album is available in the US yet?

[Kerrick]

The only place I know of is Metal Helm but it's still at pre-order status.  I don't know when they'll get it in stock and be able to begin shipping out.

[MetalPioneer]

Okay, thanks. I'll preorder it along with the Ecthrion CD then.

[Kerrick]

Does anyone know when Metal Helm expects to ship out the Frosthardr CDs?

[Zymologist]

Just got word that Metal Helm shipped my order.

[Kerrick]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS met too!

[Kerrick]

Due in the mail today! 

[Wolfform]

Ughhh I need to order mine!!

[Zymologist]

Listening to it now.

[Kerrick]

Aww I am jealous Adam!  I think the snow or something delayed its arrival so now USPS.com is saying expected delivery as TODAY...     How do you like it?  How would you compare it to their two EPs?

Ydi, you better get on that!  

[Zymologist]

It's good--really good. It's been a while since I've listened to the EPs, so I'll need to re-listen to compare.

[Kerrick]

Awesome!  I can't wait. 

[MetalPioneer]

My CD just came in today, so I will be jamming to it soon!

[MetalPioneer]

Update: Wow! This album is amazing! Still taking it in, but even better than anticipated. The production quality is top notch as well.

[Kerrick]

I've only been able to listen to it once so far, but yeah it's really great.  I look forward to fully absorb it upon repeated listens.

I think this album is definitely a grower. My first listen I was thinking around 85/100, but after second listen I'm leaning more toward 90/100. I dig the variety of songwriting and tempos. These guys are definitely pros and this is a great addition to the Christian black metal scene. I don't think I'd put it in a top 10 albums or anything like that (unless it continues to grow on me), but it is fantastic. I'll hopefully get time to give it a 3rd listen through this weekend.

90/100 is a very high score.  As someone who reviews albums, I only give a 9/10 to an amazing album (not to say I wouldn't have given it to this one, had I reviewed it).  I don't think I've ever given a 10/10.  Do you mean top 10 Christian black metal albums of all time, or like a top 10 for the year?  Just curious.

And I definitely agree, there's a lot of variety in the music.
