Finnish band Kiuas burst onto the scene with this debut, which varies from power metal to black metal at times (with some of the guitar sounds, and speedy drumming), with changes in tempo (and occasional moments of death growls) that bring around a reasonable amount of variety. I can't say the music is always wonderful, but songs like "The Spirit Of Ukko" (Ukko is the greatest of the pagan gods in Finnish mythology) and "Warrior Soul" are good. This is certainly one of the more unusual power metal records out there, and it does what it does quite well.
