probably my favorite of what i've heard of them so far.
 it's a concept album and the lyrics read like the pages of a serial killer's diary. in the first song we learn that Jessica is the first "step" on the path to the Serpent's throne. 13 steps = 13 heads and 13 sets of wide blue eyes. "The thirteenth head will speak and it will light the final step that leads to the Serpent's throne".  tracks 1 - 12 represent 12 unlucky girls, however track 13 is a bit more of a mystery as there are no lyrics, no title and i can barely understand most of the vocals. does the unnamed killer complete the 13th step? i dunno, you'll have to listen and decide for yourself.

17. Utrydd Dei Svake

combining elements of black metal, hardcore and classic rock they create a sound that's been labeled black 'n roll, blackened hardcore and all sorts of other nonsense. i personally don't give a fuck what ridiculous sub-sub-genre you want to call it, it's fucking rad. 

the album was originally released in 2010 and then re-released in 2011 with bonus tracks and a dvd. the bonus tracks consist of  4 songs from a BBC Session (12 - 15) and 2 demo tracks (16 & 17). i wish they would've included their first demo instead of the BBC tracks but oh well. the dvd has a making of the album, music videos for "Mjød" (with a making of and commentary), "Blodtørst" and "Ordsmedar Av Rang" and live footage from Samfundet 2010.
definitely worth checking out.
