UMUR
"Mulmets Viser" is the 2nd full-length studio album by Danish death/folk metal act Svartsot. The album was released in March 2010 by Napalm Records.

"Mulmets Viser" pretty much continue where "Ravnenes Saga (2007)" left off. That´s a mix of mid-paced death metal and folky lead melodies played by both guitar and flute/whistles. The addition of Mandolin and accordion also provide an extra folky flavour. The lyrics are evolve around traditional Danish folklore and Nordic mythology. The growling vocals are slightly more intellegible this time around and that´s a plus in my book. The band generally deliver an energetic performance and there are several strong tracks on the album. Most tracks are a bit too similar in style though so it´s nice to hear a more epic sounding track like "Den Svarte Sot" included.

"Mulmets Viser" is another solid release by Svartsot. I still think their Amon Amarth meets early Amorphis sound (albeit with a more folky edge) lacks a bit of an original touch, but on the other hand you get a quality sound production, well written tracks and a band performing with passion, so I guess that somewhat makes up for it. A 3.5 star rating is deserved.
