		Like Wimme, the Finnish-based Gjallarhorn are pushing at the bounds of Scandinavian music, even including samples of dolphin sounds on the closing "Sinivatsa." There's little doubt they've evaded the traditional sophomore jinx.
		This is Gjallarhorn's second CD available in the U.S. If you liked their first CD (Ranarop), or music by Hedningarna and Garmarna, you'll probably enjoy this.
		I have also seen Gjallarhorn and they are every bit as amazing in person, so I surely don't think this CD is overproduced-ths songs sound substantially the same live.

		Before Gjallarhorn I was listening to a Swedish group Garmarna for awhile and liked it a lot.

		Gjallarhorn is a quartet of musicians from the Swedish side of Finland who delve deep into the earth for their wild, unfettered sound.
		Yes, there are the requisite dolphin and ocean sounds, but a jazzy kalimba ostinato and Wilhelms' precise vocals give it meat and spirit.

		Gjallarhorn didn't form like most bands, starting with a band and then make music.
		DoomSword and Gjallarhorn have different purposes and different attitudes, even though the music looks similar due to the two members in common.
		Most of the band is Italian (except for you I believe?), do you get a lot of strange reactions, or criticism even, on the fact that a bunch of Italians are raving about Viking history and playing Viking metal as if it were their own heritage?
