Soaring, epic, majestic progressive Viking metal from the Faroe Islands – how come they're not on top of the charts already?

The Black Flame

When WOLF first came onto the scene, their self-titled album cover sported a freaky-looking lupine fella, sort of a denim-and-leather Disco Stu as imagined by Maurice Sendak.

The Albatross

Familiar reference points may abound when listening to this, the second album from up-and-coming Ohio band ONCEOVER.
