| | Heathen Harvest - Reviews: Skyforger - Zobena Dziesma / Sword Song |
 | | Needless to say, I was overjoyed when they announced this album, which consists entirely of acoustic reworked versions of some older SKYFORGER songs as well as traditionals. |
 | | Among them are several hymns to Perkunos, the Baltic deity of thunder and fertility, analogous to the Norse Thor, as well as a lot of songs about horses, the traditional warrior’s best friend in battle. |
 | | The instrumentation consists of giga, a Latvian instrument that is a forerunner of the cello, kokle, an 11-string Latvian hybrid of harp and guitar, acoustic guitar, various flutes, bagpipes, mouth harp and ‘wardrums.’ |
