Review by Pieter Niemann

Demo by Svidgar is an intriguing collection of tracks that showcase the band's unique blend of metal and folk influences. The album opens with the brooding, atmospheric "Intro," which sets the tone for the rest of the record. From there, Svidgar launches into the driving, riff-heavy "Warriors of the North," which features some impressive guitar work and a catchy chorus.

Throughout the album, Svidgar demonstrates an impressive range of styles and influences. "Viking Blood" is a rollicking folk-metal anthem that will have listeners banging their heads and raising their fists in the air, while "The Hunt" is a slower, more introspective track that showcases the band's ability to create haunting, atmospheric soundscapes.

Despite being a demo, the production on this album is top-notch, with each instrument and vocal part coming through clearly and powerfully. Svidgar's musicianship is also impressive, with each member contributing their own unique style and energy to the songs.

Summary by Pieter Niemann

Demo by Svidgar is a promising debut that will appeal to fans of both metal and folk music. With their unique sound and impressive musicianship, this band is definitely one to watch in the coming years.
