From the very first crushing riffs in “Left for Dead”, as the warriors of Midgard deal with the captured son of White Christ, Fire Upon Your Lands plunges listeners into the chaos of battle. Forged in the fire of unrelenting aggression by mastermind and founder Johnny Hedlund, venomous growls and battle cries set the tone for the neck-breaking masterpiece. Roaring riffs and razor-sharp solos unleash a sonic onslaught while UNLEASHED create a powerful and triumphant tribute to the warriors lost in battle. Meanwhile, “To My Only Son” slows only to strike deeper, it’s haunting melodies and doom-laden atmosphere embodying sorrow and honor in the face of war. In the eclipse they summon the Midgard Warriors with “Hold Your Hammers High!”, an anthemic battle cry that follows the son of Thor into the unknown. Fueled by sheer aggression and grand, warlike melodies, the track stands as a testament to the band’s mastery in crafting Viking battle hymns.
