SIG:AR:TYR - Godsaga review

Image
Like the band promised & said on their official website, Godsaga is about Odin's hanging on Yggdrasil but the artwork refers to Egil Skallagrimsson. More about Egill Skallagrimsson on wiki . You can find lyrics in the booklet but also on their official website. Now, lets talk about the content of the cd.

Review: Dur Dabla - Demo 2010

Image
Lets start this review with the cover-art.  I see it & I want to say “congrats” to the designer! The cover-art respects the bandname (harp), the genre & location of the band : “celtic” & the draw is particularly very good! The color itself reflects the metal aspect from the band. I open the jewel cd, and what do I see in my copy ? “to Krissy Dragonhead & Sword Chant”, signed Marc. :) But the font inside like the back cover, I don’t like much because its way too much of these big letters (like the big ones from their respective logo).
