The guitar riffs of Hrimthurs are considered by many in the underground to be of invaluable quality, for they are different to those of modern day fl metal bands as they have ties to the early thrash roots from where fl metal was spawned.
Musically, Hrimthurs has an authentic, traditional and somewhat primitive approach as a focal point; this overall sound is due to him thinking it imperative to keep the cultural identity in all fl metal compositions.
Although stylistically and idealistically Hrimthurs portrays much candid hatred and abhorrence to the principles of expression in which he has applied, to the same degree there is also an entire spectrum of love for tradition: landscape and all things beautiful, which were once predominant in the world.

In Norse mythology, Hrimthurs (also named Blast) was a giant disguised as a human stonemason who rebuilt the walls around Asgard, the land of the Aesir.
Although such comparisons might seem far fetched (if you haven’t heard Hrimthurs’ music before), «War of the Ages» is in fact very close to classics as «Aske», «Det Som Engang Var», «Pentagram», «Soulside Journey» or «A Blaze in the Northern Sky»..
Perhaps, this one man project has not reached the skill and the creative quality of those classics but in terms of atmospheres, style and ‘coldness’, Hrimthurs shall impress tons of lunatics of cold and hateful first hour fl metal.
