KALEVALA : Worlds End Inn EP reviewed

1. The foggy dew you folks may know that song...or mainly ones into celtic folk XD. Here is the track sung only. but what a beautiful voice! the CD starts pretty well! no wrong note in the voice. Beautful. Plus I love that song in all. 2.Worlds end inn A track for folk metalheads!^^ we feel like wanna dance over the main riff & solo. Rock n roll voice. The background vocals parts to the end made the song a wee poprock... but if your eclectic, then you'll see its a good song!  3. Heritage cry Epic intro somewhere, voice kinda bluesy/hard and so powerful - very nice! The music sounds kinda hard/celtic - pretty cool mix imo. Sometimes his voice reminds me Angelique Kidjo but male version^^, not sure you folks know her but thats world music. I like her pretty much. I think if you like deep purple, acdc, folkstone, turisas, korpiklaani, you'll like that tune.
