    Demogorefest, le Wednesday 18 November 2009 talk to your friends  
Among the many folk, pagan, and viking acts out there today, Arkona has one of the most distinct sounds among them, and their new album Goi,Rode,Goi is no exception, in fact, this is probably my favorite album of them so far.

Arkona is also one of the few bands among the Folk genre that actually has a talented female vocalist, she can change her style from an epic folk chant to an aggressive, and raspy Death Growl in mid sentence.

The new album will definitely not disappoint anyone who is a fan of past Arkona releases; if you like epic, traditional folk chants, then this album will be a hit for you, almost all the tracks on the album feature a hair-raising choRus line, which can be reminiscent of some of the better Turisas song; though Arkona's sound is much different overall in comparison to most other bands in the folk genre, instead of imploring a Scandinavian feel to their songs, they incorporate traditional Russian sounds and Chants, which is something that isn't heard often in Folk Metal.

This release had taken me by surprise, I hadn't really expected their new album to be as great as it is (and I was already a fan of them); out of all the 14 songs on Goi,Rode,Goi, the track lengths vary drastically, some songs are over 15 minutes, and others fall short of just 2, all in all, this is one of my favorite releases this year, and any fan of Arkona's previous works should find their new album a success.
