Kampfar - Kvass
Yay, more viking metal. There has become quite a bit of these bands as this style of metal has become more and more popular. This is the most recent album from Kampfar Oh wait, checking the website, this is "Norse Pagan Folklore Metal." Ok, whatever, its viking metal.
The most notable thing about this album is the vocals. The vocalist has a raspy, black metal voice and he 'sings' almost continually throughout the length of the album. There's not much instrumental time on the songs, which is a shame, because Kampfar has some very nice melodies that come out occasionally, it would be nice if they were the focus instead of the constant attention the vocals get. It wouldn't be so bad if the vocalist were more interesting to listen to.
Kvass isn't bad, there's some really good songs taken one at a time. However the vocalist doesn't have much variety in his voice, which causes the songs to become a bit repetitive and boring by the time you reach the end of the album.
7/10 Good viking metal with a not so good singer
