Canadian Black / Folk/ Viking Metal. VM can be fun if it is done right & not trivial. This is certainly the case here. Everything is in its place but this one man, Joe Caswell, project has not forgotten to have a whole lot of fun along the way as well. Check out Joe's other projects as well. A great album & thoroughly recommended!!!

BURDEN OF YMIR entered my collection rather quickly. Viking black metal like this with its strong folk elements, piercing guitars, catchy and well balanced between aggression and heroic chants is just the right music for the upcoming summer. Honoring influences like Ensiferum, Forefather, Mithotyn or Windir, "Heorot" brings me in a good mood and simply makes fun.
Favorite track: The Great Mead Hall.

oe Caswell moves from Vikings to Saxons on the newest album from his blackened folk metal project. This might be the most well-crafted thing he’s put out so far, at least with this project, with harder-driving riffs and raspier, more aggressive vocals contrasting nicely with the bouncy, high-speed synthesized folk elements and the occasional soaring choral parts. Really catchy, fist-pumping songs just loaded with hooks.

about
Burden of Ymir brings his unique blackened folk metal to Flowing Downward, with his fifth full-length album "Heorot".
With "Heorot", mastermind and sole member Joe Caswell (also active as olim, Drowstorm and member of Vintertodt) takes a departure from the Norse mythology to indulge in the retelling of another timeless classic, the epic tale of Beowulf!
Music for great deeds, great halls, great feasts!

This has very little in common with traditional black metal, but a lot to offer for the fans of unconventional proggy stuff. An impressive one man army from Brazil, Lumnos is like Darkspace but not that dark. But definitely “space”.

My favorite Damien album ever, I don't know why, but both versions of Eye of Prima touch my soul.

The UK outfit juxtaposes pristine choral harmonies with thunderous post-metal instrumentation for a radiantly crushing listen.

Beautiful and unique, with a deep longing and a feel for excellent composition. The piano in Te Amé is so well done that it makes you forget about other music a lot of the time.
