Well I've been a fan of Forefather for a while now, so I was excited to hear their new album when I saw it was out. Honestly, I didn't think it was going to be this good. This definitely takes their music to a new level. Anyone who enjoyed listening to Mithotyn can appreciate this album. I loved Mithotyn and I wish they were still together. Well I got my wish essentially with this album, although I would argue that this is even better. The songs create such a uniquely epic feeling that it really distinguishes them from other folk metal acts. Basically you can't help but enjoy yourself while listening to this album.
First of all, the guitar work is amazing. There's so many complex folky riffs that you lose count. I was really impressed by the effort they put into making every song flawless. Some folk metal bands in corporate the folk atmosphere through keyboard or various folk instruments but Forefather does is strictly with guitar, and they do it so well. Every song is just brimming with enjoyable guitar-work. The drums sound great as well, perfectly suiting the production. Bass is up to par too, and really adds a lot of depth to songs like Wolfhead's tree.
The vocals of Forefather are also superb. Aside from the guitar, this is what really distinguishes them. The clean vocals just fit perfectly with their style of music and I think are some of the best clean vocals out there. Mix that in with the growling and you got yourself some amazing vocal performances. One more thing I'd like to mention is the use of old English lyrics! It's cool to see some English folk music amongst all the Scandanavian stuff.
Overall this album is just awesome and is in strong standing for album of the year. I really think they reached their true potential with Steadfast. My favorite song is Miri It Is, with Wolfhead's Tree and Fire From the Sky right behind. Can't wait for the next one!
