Stanley Donwood has compared writing for Ultima Thule’s new album to that on ‘Vikingabalk’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. There is no doubt that Ultima Thule has talent. Vikingabalk isn’t so much a record, as a great effort at dragging you into another world. Vikingabalk is preety good and all the songs have a good meaning behind them.
This track is just a stunning masterpiece. It’s so catchy, it’s amazing. Uti Var Hage is one of those songs that will put you in a good mood. Ultima Thule sings his heart out in Balladen Till Sverige. One of the more genuine-sounding songs is Runaway. When listening to Vinklar Och Svek, it gives me such an energy rush it’s unbelievable. Baring Nord is absolutely incredible. Vikingabalk is such a amazing and optimistic song that things can get just better. Balders Drommar is a perfect song and it grows on you. A fantastic track full of wonder. Vargsang is a strong cut, one of many. You can find feelings on this piece of art.
