Sorgsvart´s music is mostly epic in nature and mixes in alot of folk influences with black metal. Some of the lyrical themes deal with anarchism, suicide, agony and hate. Although I cannot interpret the lyrics to his songs, I was immediately drawn to the music.

The music is enchanting at times because of the length of the songs. You really lose track of time when you immerse yourself with the music. At that point you start creating visions in your mind and a musical journey begins. It's kind of like watching a Lord of the Rings movie. Sorg balances different musical elements very well. The harshness of his grim vocals is complimented by his cleaner ones. The music is aggressive at times with the black metal style guitar riffing and drum blast beats, only to switch to more melodic structures and passages using acoustics guitars, keyboards and a variety of Norwegian instruments. There are emotions that range from sad and painful to majestic and proud.

I think VikingTid og AnArki could have sounded bigger with a much more grand production. The drums are a little thin for me and I wish they were a bit more bombastic. I love the guitar sound on this album as Sorg really nails the black metal style. The mixing was done very well where nothing overshadows anything else. The quality of the recording is very good.

I highly recommend VikingTid og AnArki to anyone that is a fan of Epic Viking Folk/Black Metal. It's one of the better ones that I have had the pleasure of experiencing as of late.
