Graveland – Thousand Swords (1995)

Not as dreadful as the band’s ridiculously corny debut, nor as unique and perplexing as its follow-up, Thousand Swords stands alone in a weird no man’s land. I honestly don’t understand the hype for this thing. Outside of the cool cover art and the cooler logo, this is pretty bog standard stuff. Oh, and whilst we’re at it, fuck NSBM.
