FLIGHT OF SLEIPNIR V FULL
'Skadi' creates another extraordinary venture, full of extreme metal and polarizing tension. will be released by Napalm Records on November 24 in North America and December 1 in the UK. A sound honed, burnished, and refined to utter perfection. Taking inspiration from earlier recordings which work as the creative drive, they forge their trademark sounds ahead once again in Nordic spiked splendour wrapped in a new life-form. truly is the sound of a band truly coming into their own. Dreamy.Following on the heels of the 2014 album 'V', the 6th full length 'Skadi' shows the Colorado individualists The Flight of Sleipnir more focused and settled. The Germanic-Father sends his messengers again. On its back it carries a very precious cargo: The fifth album by the American band Flight of Sleipnir, shortly and concisely titled V., with its atmospheric mix of Stoner Rock, Doom and Folk Metal. This album comes to me as a bit of (almost) light relief after some of the more intense stuff that I've been listening to of late but it's got enough dark and doomy goodness to balance the lighter folky elements - and the almost progressive meanderings are another delight to be had as you let yourself sink lower and lower into soft and velvety pillows. Odins eight-legged horse slides again by land, water and air of the Nordic underworld.
The slow pick intro on Nothing Stands Obscured reiterates the band's stance they love the mellow juxtaposed against a screaming, heavy section - as do I. I am sure if you asked 5 different people who listened to their newest release V you would probably get 5 different genre tags.doom, stoner, folk, viking, even black metal and they would all be right. To try to categorize The Flight Of Sleipnir is not an easy task.
Each track seems to swing between the twin poles of mellow and heavy. Rating: 8/10 Release: 24 November 2014 Label: Napalm Records. Again, The Casting starts with thick, fuzzy guitars and muffled drums before the despairing wails of the black metal vocal come screeching in and then you're suddenly doused in all this regal soloing. Take Sidereal Course with it's watery wah-wah intro and an almost tidal surging vocal it implores you to join the band in a woodland glade or something.but then the heavier side creeps in, almost unnoticed, and what started out as a mellow dance around the Maypole has suddenly degenerated into a bloody sacrifice. It's hard to dissect this album into indiviudual pieces, and despite the similarity in structure, each song has its own identity. I'm also enjoying the roaming solos on the guitar and keyboard. Following on the heels of the 2014 album V, the 6th full length Skadi shows the Colorado individualists The Flight of Sleipnir more focused and settled. It's a bit like Mountain's Nantucket Sleighride but bigger and heavier. But then the tune gets a bit chunkier and (have I become obsessed from all the noir metal?) a shrieking vocal slips in.

Hello Select your address CDs & Vinyl Hello, Sign in. Odin’s eight-legged horse slides again by land, water and air of the Nordic underworld. On its back it carries a very precious cargo: The fifth. A dapple of cymbal and a hushed, murmured vocal lets you know that you should sink back a little deeper into the cushions and enjoy this soothing balm (particularly after the intense period of black metal that I've just had). The Flight Of Sleipnir - V by The Flight Of Sleipnir Music. Review Text Odins eight-legged horse slides again by land, water and air of the Nordic underworld. From the gentle picked introduction to Headwinds, one is immediately struck by Sleipnir's grand vision. Despite V being the fifth album from hard working duo Clayton Cushman and David Csicsely, the band shows no sign of easing up with their large-scale compositions that are based on Scandinavian literature and/or mythology.
