Title: ** Ragnarok UK **
Review: Ragnarok UK were an excellent band, a superb fusion of black metal with folk music. Very well done but not to everyone's tastes as you do need an open mind.With a beautiful concept of Norse myths and beliefs etc they took their music to new levels along with varied instruments (harp, cello, flute....) to create some good substantial folk music, these and electric guitars, pounding (programmed) drums and bass (probably to portray the anger in those barbaric times), the vocals are also varied to suit.Deorth (vocals/bass) is now I believe part of The Meads of Asphodel. But if Ragnarok sound like they might be your thing don't hesitate to pick up the albums!!In 1999 they also released `Domgeorn', along the same lines but with a more fuller, mature sound with some lyrics in Saxon (also with a bonus cover of Heart of Steel by ManOwaR). Rumour has it that the 3rd album was lost when the label Neat Metal sold their wears to Sanctuary music :(
