Elvenking - The Scythe


Well, I'm out of chronology again. Reason: I'm having issues uploading "The Winter Wake," so my friend will be doing it when he gets on. Anyways, "The Scythe" is Elvenking's fourth studio album, and it sounds nothing like the previous ones. This album is classified less like folk metal and is put into categories such as power metal and melodic death metal. The band has said that it has not lost it's folk roots, and in fact the upcoming album is supposedly the most folky yet (if it's possible to beat Heathenreel and Wyrd in that respect). The Scythe has been disliked by some Elvenking fans, but personally I love the album. Great tracks include the title track "The Scythe," "Poison Tears" and "The Divided Heart."
