Description/Reviews: 

I think the question will be from the start if this is a “folk metal” album as the progressive nature of it seems to be far outweighing the folk. While I don’t hear a lot of folk going on with a part here or there, “Heer” doesn’t really fit into any specific box so keep an open mind while listening. With tons of Hammond Organ reminiscent oriented tracks, “Heer” strikes a new path in metal far from any connection previously attempted and with each passing listen for me unveils something new and mind altering.
