Ragnarok's debut is a soft, tranquil style of instrumental rock, based on typically Swedish themes. Somewhat like a less rollicking Kebnekaise circa their second album. Flute, acoustic/electric guitar, and Rhodes electric piano lead the instrumental parade. A fine album that aurally represents a Nordic winter by the fire. The band's later albums, coming in a full four years after this, are considerably more energetic than this debut.
Ownership: CD: 1995 Silence. Standard jewel case.
My first copy of the album was the original LP (1994). Thought about getting it again, but not worth current going rates. The CD is fine here.
1994 (first listen); 8/26/12 (review / new entry); 2/21/24
