The Icelanders in Skáldmöld has released some good albums in their past and the still continue to do so.

Vulture Industies may some strange to most people. But at the same time their music is pretty catchy.

One-man-band Hellripper as really outdone him self this time. “Warlocks Grim & Withered Hags” sounds really bad ass!
