Band: Yggdrasil
Song: Valkyria
Album: Vedergällning (2009)
Genre: Folk Metal
Shoutout to Jeff for coming in clutch with another obscure metal band, amirite? Apologies to those of you who don't enjoy the harsh vocals, this brings that sound in pretty hard. After all though, the sidebar does say Rap and Metal are my main draws, so let's dive right in.
First a fun fact, Yggdrasil is the name of the tree of life in Norse mythology. It was an immense ash tree tat held the 9 realms in it's branches.
I've found through the last few years that I've actually paid attention to any form of Folk Metal, that I actually like it a lot. There's some bands like Eluveitie (please listen) that rock out the traditional instrument front, and then there's guys like Yggdrasil that go more in the Metal path. I like it though, there's a blackened undertone that you don't usually find in this music. There's a lot of Black Metal undertone here throughout the album, so if that's your scene it's straight gold.
