From the icy, chilling intro instrumental through stories about Nordic mythological creatures and characters and cold mountaintops, this is a must-have through-and-through. Yggdrasil (ig-dra-sil) is about a gigantic tree at the center of Norse mythology, also known as Odin's horse. Gylfaginning is about a king who is tricked by the Norse gods, and I think is about the creation and destruction of the world that the gods created. It even says "VIKING METAL" on the back of the inside booklet. Fast as hell at times, melodic at others, not the cleaned-up progressive metal sound their newer fans are used to. The drummer, Trym, joined Emperor after this album.
