Doomsword is not one of the bands that come to mind when you think in doom metal, but this is easily explained: although the genre appears to be doom, Doomsword is more than that, it is a pure subgenre: epic doom metal. The lyrics talk about kings, conquests, victories, swords and similar themes, so much that we can take the band almost to a viking level. Luckily (or not, we never know) Doomsword carries a strong doom within, full of thirst for victory. It could be said also that the effort Doomsword put in their own epic music is similar to the funeral lament of Shape of Despair of to the mourning addiction of My Dying Bride.

Darker and more progressive than the previous one. It's not as memorable but it's still very well crafted metal. The concept about the viking invasion of england works really well here (overall I find the vikings theme to be worn out and ends up being onesided) both musically and lyrically.

I've only just found out about this band. This is really good stuff, and I'm not a big doom fan

Not one of my favorites from DS; it sounds good but it feels that the songwriting isn't their best, none individual song seems to stand out as killer either. The average rating looks quite too high to me

Best song: Woden's Reign
