This is in fact the first metal CD that I listened to in my life. I have always thought that this genre of music is rather scary and nasty so this was a nice surprise. This is melodious and creates a nice mood. That's a pity I don't recognise the language in the lyrics. Is it French or one of the Celtic languages? I wish I could understand the texts. Anyway, why is the band called after the wolf from the Edda and not any of the creatures or characters from Celtic mythologies?

Très beau, très agréable à l'oreille, avec une voix féminine magnifique. C'est gai, festif et empreint de douceur. Vraiment un très bel album de rock celtique comme on voudrait en entendre plus souvent.

J'aime beaucoup l'atmosphère dans laquelle nous font entrer les chansons. C'est un univers qui me parle (pour une fan de mythologie nordique, pas étonnant ^^). Même si je suis naturellement plutôt attirée par les voix graves, je trouve que la voix de la chanteuse est intéressante voire surprenante lorsqu'on l'entend pour la première fois. Coup de coeur particulier pour Brynhild's Complaint dont j'apprécie beaucoup la mélodie ;)

I personally am a fan of crossing metal and celtic concepts within a genre, so naturally I checked this out. The instrumentation is absolutely fantastic. The only clear issue is mastering - the quality is poor, but I give you credit because you're talented, and this is your first release. I can barely hear the bass, and everything in the mix in general is very unbalanced. The singer's voice is beautiful, but I can't understand your English... Don't you think you might fare better singing your native tongue? And I must agree with a past reviewer in stating that the female-fronted opera-like singing has been done to hell... but with a little work it would be fantastic regardless. I do look forward to hearing more - I hope you're able to improve upon your sound as you get more experience.

Chanteuse pas mal du tout, nettement au-dessus, à mon avis, de chanteuses de certains groupes connus. Bien celtique-folk, de ce côté-là, ça va. Mais.. Musique moyenne, rattrapée par le chant, mais tout de même. Trop grinçant par moments, batterie qui fait un peu tefal. Un peu beaucoup. Et la pochette, pas du tout la hauteur, olala! Il faut me changer ça, quelque chose de mieux quoi! Jouer sur le celtique!

Mix of celtic music and metal is something that I like very much, so it's not surprise that I likedthis album. Fenrir's way of playing and singing is very nice. The band seems to have many new ideas about music and I think they enjoy just playing music together. Unfortunately, the quality of recording isn't as good as the quality of singing and playing. This is a main disadvantage of the album. But all in all, I recommend "Whispers of the old world" and I'm looking forward to listening new Fenrir's albums.

Trés trés trés bon album ! j'aime vraiment beaucoup, c'est dur de trouver des groupes de métal celtique, sachant faire une bonne alchimie entre les 2 ! Vous y etes arrivé ! Bravo ! J'écoute pas mal votre album, c'est un bon remontant, merci ! Sinon niveau critique, ben j'en ai pas ! venez donc faire un petit concert à Caen (basse normandie), les vikings vous adorerons ! Bonne continuation

Questo album mi piace veramente molto , sinceramente , cercavo un disco VIKING , poi mi sono imbattuto in queso gioiellino FOLK pieno di DISPERAZIONE e POESIA , brani dal sapore EPICO e MAGICO , l' ascolto crea un effetto incredibile , in questo disco sono presenti delle MELODIE veramente molto EVOCATIVE , da consigliare ! ! !
