The Fall Of Valhalla by Himinbjorg (European Tribes)

The Fall Of Valhalla by Himinbjorg (European Tribes)

It’s been nearly a decade since the release of their previous album Wyrd, but with the unveiling of The Fall Of Valhalla, Himinbjorg has returned in an epic way! The French Black Metal band has issued a career defining album that unveils black metal hymns at their most intriguing.

Our journey into the realm of Himinbjorg’s latest and greatest masterwork commences with the staggering Brothers Sequane followed by the grand and somber reprieves of The Pathetic Men Show. There is a thrilling sense of urgency to be found within the auditory world of Himinbjorg, with sonnets such as Architecture of Annihilation, Tribeless Child, and The Colour Of Truth weaving a mystical spell upon the listener.

How wonderful it is to have Zahaah and the almighty Himinbjorg back on track, delivering their compelling artistry upon the universe once more! Extreme metal fans are sure to be fully enraptured by the blistering soundscapes found within The Fall Of Valhalla. There is still magic and wonder to be experienced within the black metal genre, thanks to inventive artists such as Himinbjorg!
