Ivar is a damn black metal prodigy!
I love the atmospheres they create with their music, right off the bat, and I appreciate that their progress roots were there from the start as well. The main criticism I have is that some of the longer songs from their early career are just long because they are really repetitive. I'd say that is even more prevalent on their first full length, Vikingligr Veldi.
Wolfking, I said it earlier in the thread, but I see the early demos as a history and context for what's to come. They are really rough around the edges, and I wouldn't revisit them often (if at all) but when you listen knowing how young they were, and they were at the forefront of an emerging scene, it puts the music into perspective (at least it does for me).
