NTTR - No Time to Review

"Birna" has been praised for its deep emotive songwriting and atmospheric compositions that connect listeners to ancient Nordic traditions. The album features grand, lumbering drones played on traditional stringed instruments, evoking a cinematic sense of centuries passing. Tracks like "Himinndotter" provide a thrilling rhythmic shake-up, injecting energy into the album's midsection. The eight-minute finale, "Lyfjaberg," is highlighted for its drowsily psychedelic rise and fall, capturing the essence of the album with its menacing and relieving tones.

At The Sound of The Heart by Whispering Void blends Nordic folk and atmospheric elements, featuring the voices of Lindy-Fay Hella and Kristian "Gaahl" Espedal. The album immerses listeners in a haunting, ritualistic soundscape, enhanced by acoustic instruments and somber vocals. The title track stands out with its progressive structure, while songs like "Vi Finnes" evoke a deep connection to nature and existential themes. Though not revolutionary, this debut is a mesmerizing experience for fans of folk-infused ambient rock​ Metal Temple Magazine   Ave Noctum   Terra Relicta .
