#10 - Windir - Likferd
More black metal, this time a more traditional approach. This is melodic viking black metal, a style pioneered by Bathory. Windir make the style sound fresh and accessible on Likferd with a nearly pristine production and the most catchy melodies of their career. I say their, but really Windir is one guy, taking after Quorthon with his individuality, Valfar was a master musician and composer. The passion and attention to detail is heard through every aspect of this album, from the clean perfect pitch croons to the frigid but ultimately catchy guitar leads. It's the sort of black metal that empowers, the sort you want playing as you stride into war.
