The guest musicians really makes this album worth the while. Love the layers of multiple vocals... Underrated piece of folk metal.

With all due respect for this band, in my honest opinion Eluveitie sounds better than Ásmegin. No offence.

Honestly a senseless comparison. No offence.

I kind of agree that this is the greatest folk metal album ever produced. I simply don't have the lifespan to explain everything right about it, it's just the peak of the genre in my opinion.
