Rating:
4.0 stars

The symbolism of heritage resounds glaringly throughout the music herein and the cover of TYR's "By The Light Of The Northern Star" which shows a berserk, seafaring Norseman victoriously dismantling a Christian cross. TYR sounds like a peculiar cross breed of MANOWAR and AMON AMARTH and actually captures that essence on the rune possessed "Ride" and the majestic swagger of the title track which eulogizes those long deceased warriors who fought valiantly to attain a throne in Valhalla. “I will decimate and decapitate those who question the sword"... heed this declaration respectfully or be savagely marauded by these Viking mongrels!!
