That's how most black metal is. It's supposed to be disorienting. The drums are played kind of off, the tuning is relatively different.. Most people won't like it. Some do.
Plenty of different melodies in this song, actually. There is an acoustic guitar carrying melody behind the tremolo-picked distorted guitars, is a motif that pops in at times during most of the early part of the song. Also at around 3:10 there is a guitar melody (with accompanying harmony) reminiscent of some melodic Swedish bands from the 90s (or even a galloping Iron Maiden riff). The Nordic-sounding melody fits, since this is a song about Norse mythology. The drums follow that pattern pretty closely for a couple minutes. At the mid-point of the song, a new melodic motif comes in, involving descending barre chords, which is then joined by a guitar solo that follows the pattern with rhythmic arpeggios and sweep picking. (It should be pointed out that a lot of black metal does not have such technical guitar riffs or even guitar solos for that matter) At the conclusion of the guitar solo, there is a lead-guitar pattern of legato whole notes following the bass line of descending notes. This is followed by an acoustic-guitar interlude that sounds almost tribal and triumphant. Rather than leading to a dissonant section, it goes into a more straightforward death metal direction with almost punk-like drumming and chord progressions that seem to be constantly building tension toward the climax of the song, a fast section that is also the lyrical climax of the song as the deceitful Geirrod is killed and his son Agnar is crowned king.
Dude so I still love this song and how it played a part in my druming style.
Fucking perfect..
Piano !!! Excellent ! The more of this song !
Replying to an 8 year old comment aside, it's great. Another song that gives me similar vibes is "to the Celtic lands" by celtefog. Love it dearly.

This just sounds like noise to me. Where's the melody? Why is the vocalist overpowered by the instrumental parts?
Lmao. Mad?
Maybe, maybe not. It ll just sounds unbalanced to me, not that it's bad or anything.
