Battle hymns

Finnish folk metal album "The Varangian Way" (2007) by Turisas is the perfect accompaniment to sailing longships to Vineland or attacking hefty swords & sorcery tomes...

...like "Deadhouse Gates" (2000) by Steven Erikson, second slab of The Malazan Book Of The Fallen, which has 935 pages of dense type and about as many unfamiliar faces :-)
