Starting with where their most recent left off, the Sheep-stealers from Enslaved make a 90 degree turn and cut through prog country before ending up in Viking land. Not Amon Amarth viking land, but as close an approximation to Ye Olde Viking Music as one might expect.

Best of all, it's apparently free thanks to, uh, a car company which spits out cars which look like bricks. Pretty cool stuff... the music. And maybe the car company... when they come out with the V-Box, complete with horns, shield hubcaps, and axe-rack on the back, i'll be interested.

corrupt With a lowercase c Posts: 1897 From: Germany	10.05.2011 - 00:19 corrupt With a lowercase c Posts: 1897 From: Germany What's that shit with having to provide an email to download? There's no 'learn more' link and the only way to get the songs seems to be to give them your email. I'll try that with 10-minute-mail tomorrow. Or just torrent the thing. This would be way more exciting without the pretentious crap. ---- Schwarzmetall! Loading...

Quite a lot of effort to download four songs though. Why they didn't just zip all of it and posted it on their website is still beyond me. ---- Schwarzmetall! Loading...
