Great band, saw them live first time this summer and they were brilliant.

I was trying to figure out a good reference when I wrote the review and the 80s part, but the mind shot blank. But now that you mention it, I definitely should have mentioned U2 and Bono in some context. Good call!

It’s funny you got an ’80s pop vibe out of this album because when I first heard “Pale Rider” I thought the singer sounded like a viking metal version of Bono. He has that cooler-than-cool rock star presence…

“If you meet me at the war tonight…

One of us shall surely die/
I don’t care, no I just don’t care/
Either way I die tonight/
So I don’t care/
No I just don’t care”

I’m not sure if Bono is even cool enough to pull off those lines.

If you like Köld, then the previous album will definitely blow your mind.

Holy shit is this album good! It’s one of those albums that is greater as a whole than each individual song. I don’t know how I’ve missed these guys but I’m definitely looking to get some of their older albums.
