This is not Gjallarhorn. I swear! Go to their page and you'll see a posting about another band that calls their genre, "viking metal" and has named themselves after Gjallarhorn. Not them!!

1 out of 5 stars A little problem here...........2006-05-13

It seems to me that Spinal Tap does this sort of thing much better than... What? They're serious? That's hard to believe, coming from the same band who demonstrated such a subtle blending of seemingly disparate and eclectic sounds and styles on such albums as Grimborg and Sjofn... What? They're not the same band--they're a different band who chose to use the same name? Uh. Hmmmm. Okay, I'll start over.

While I'm quite conversant with a wide variety of musical genres (including, among others, hard rock, punk, and hardcore) I'm probably not entirely qualified to judge heavy metal; however, this album simply cannot be an outstanding, good, or even representative sample of heavy metal--I refuse to believe that the genre is that bad. The music on this album is painfully simplistic, monotonous, and repetitive; relieved only by a few transitions and passages intended to sound profound and meaningful but which are in fact cliches and trivialities so artlessly overblown and overwrought musically and lyrically as to be downright silly.

I'd like to sell this disc but I'd feel hopelessly immoral for taking somebody's hard-earned money for it.

                To say Arne Nordheim has seen it all is such an understatement. Nordheim was born in 1931 and has lived through the times of World War II. At a younger age, he headed his own music movement by influencing his Norwegian community to move toward a more modern way of appreciating music. His newly released album on Rune Grammofon, titled Dodeka (meaning twelve), shows a remarkable test of time. Eleven of the twelve compositions were recorded in Warsaw nearly 35 years ago and have been stored in Nordheim's archives ever since. I'm astonished at how far ahead of its time Dodeka is because it sounds very similar to what so many modern electronic artists are doing today.

                It's only befitting that Dodeka be released at a time like this, which I'm sure is exactly what went through Rune Kristoffersen's head when he dug up these electronic snippets of opposing thoughts. It has been assembled with twelve tracks of sonorous drones and mind expanding tones that seem to barely cover the surface of a plain white sheet of canvas. The last piece, "Summa," is a more recent composition and consists of a culmination of snippets from tracks one through twelve; thereby giving it a much fuller sound than its predecessors. It may also be safe to say that the first eleven snippets are just components (or again, thoughts) of what Nordheim must have been trying to accomplish overall. Because of the spaciousness of Dodeka's songs, you get the illusion that this is one long and flowing arrangement.

                I'd say many of today's electronic artists owe quite a bit to Arne Nordheim and his vision of a more justifiable future for music. With his influence in just his own small worlds of Poland and Norway, it may be easy to say that his ideas and hard work affected an even broader range of electronic musicians across the world today. The fact that Dodeka came from a different time and place makes it a highly respectable piece of modern music history, and one of the best releases thus far for abstract compositions.
