Ereb Altor is an "epic viking doom metal" band influenced by Bathory and Candlemass. After a 2003 demo called “The Awakening”, their debut full-length “By Honour” was released by I Hate Records in March 2008. I think that this album is so damn good that even those who don't appreciate the genre will like it.
Playlist:
1. Perennial
2. Awakening
3. By Honour
4. Winter Wonderland
5. Dark Nymph
6. Wizard
7. Ereb Altor

Up until now I was blissfully unaware of 'epic viking doom metal' as a genre, but upon reading the term I had instant dislike of it.
Silly me downloaded this album anyway and behold: you were right - it's damn good. Thanks!
it's a rather silly description, in my opinion, but since it is so widely used to describe Ereb Altor, I quote it anyway.
this album is goddamn awesome.
Well, as far as pigeonholing goes I guess it does make sense.
The new album The End leaked the other day aswell. To my ears it doesn't sound any less awesome. Admittedly, my ears are a little weird...
In the same kind of atmosfere the new Barren Earth album Curse of the Red River is worth checking out too.
