Due to the continuously growing interest in The Flight Of Sleipnir and the unavailability of their extremely limited self-released EPs “Wisdom Calls For Sacrifice” and “Winter Solstice II”, it was decided to give all fans the chance to obtain the old material in a proper format. Namely, the limited “Ascension” A5-DigiCD, which include liner notes for each of the old songs, as well as a previously unreleased cover of Pentagram's “Be Forewarned” and a rare live version of “Algiz”, performed by David & Clay with the help of their live members, and quite a bit different from the album version.
Here's a release that shows the honest beginnings of a band that set out to combine the Viking theme with classic Doom Metal and Progressive Rock like no other, and is gaining new fans on a daily basis, people who are excited to find another gem in all the rubble.
Regular edition in jewel case.
"Saga" is the band's 4th album and by now I think we can dispense with comparisons. The Flight Of Sleipnir have become their own reference - a fact to which a large and continuously growing fan base attests. On "Saga" David & Clay have further refined what has become their very own style, a totally unique combination of Viking and Doom Metal with progessive elements, which they developed and improved with every release. In this respect, the new album is a consequent continuation of "Essence Of Nine", with its focus on acoustic parts, melodic guitar leads and clean vocals on the one hand, and raw Viking/Black Metal outbursts on the other, everything merged into a seamless whole. In short, an exciting and never boring or repetitive journey through a rough northern landscape, interspersed with relaxed nights around the campfire.
