Artist: THUNDRA
Album: IGNORED BY FEAR (CD)

Year: 2009
Media type: CD

When drummer Harald Magne Revheim and bass player Stein Sund, former musicians for Norwegian cult bands Enslaved and Einherjer, joined forces with keyboarder Nils Harald Revheim Johansen in 1998 for a combined new group, fate dealt a very special deck of cards. Everybody involved was instantly dead sure about the stylistic route: unique and opulently arranged Viking Metal of classic workmanship was the aim. Composed highly epic and truely ensouled with bravely tuned melodies. After a longer break Thundra now slam their third mighty Norse long spear right into your ears – a completely delightful and mighty studio album on which the best moments of scandinavian pagan steel up till now are being cited as bravely as never before. The album title of the new record is Thundra´s lyrical program for 2009. And fortunately „Ignored By Fear“ comes across more melodic and more hauntingly anthemic than the dark 2005 predecessor „Worshipped By Chaos“. Thrilling progressive nuances included, which Thundra triumphantly celebrate on top notch instrumental level
