This is Ragnarok's 1981 release, a progressive rock band from Sweden led by guitarist Peter Bryngelsson. The album features a variety of primitive rhythms, starting from a kalimba solo and incorporating various percussion instruments such as xylophones, against a backdrop of earthy flute and progressive electric guitar contrasts, reminiscent of Yasuaki Shimizu's work, creating an intriguing ethnic track on A1. Tracks like B1 blend elements of Nordic folk music with ethnic sounds, creating a fusion of mysterious progressive sounds, reminiscent of King Crimson's hard trip with a distinct Nordic ethnic sensibility. The result is a highly original progressive rock album with an exquisite balance of uniqueness.
A1: Midvinterblot I
B1: Leningrad I & II
