I would classify Myridian as Viking Metal; in the same vein as Amon Amarth. However, while AA may have hit the proverbial wall, Myridian is still growing as evidenced by their latest offering. Additionally, AA is not (and, quite frankly, never was) able/inclined to perform with the passion/range of Myridian. New to this album is a high/low register of growls, tighter songs/instrumentation, and a whole new emotive response via the listening experience. Buy it+25% of the low asking price! 5 stars! Melancholic Rage
The whole album pretty much comes across to me as a tribute to My Dying Bride. It's not as polished as MDB releases, but I think the band make a good effort, and come out with an album they can be happy with. Jarak
