TR – Battle Ballads – CD

CD

With Battle Ballads, Tr have created an album that resounds with their trademark Viking metal sound. At the same time, the band has experimented with new writing styles and musical techniques and created songs that are structurally simpler, yet musically more variegated. For Joensen its a clear illustration of how he plans to continue exploring different approaches in the future while staying true to the spirit of thunderous Viking metal. With Battle Ballads, there are progressive elements here and there, but we tried to keep the songs based on one or two musical ideas each, and work on everything from there. So, in a way, its more concise than our last album, but its more epic because of the symphonic elements.
