With this album, the band improves upon their already distinctive sound that, since day one, has had fans wondering if theyâre hearing a band from the States or the mountains of Finland! Each of the 11 tracks on Redneck Vikings From Hell are entirely distinct, setting the stage by playing upon their southern roots with the banjo-laden epic folk metal-inspired title track ÓRedneck Vikings From HellÝ. Meanwhile, the arena-ready first single ÓGoodbyeÝ and center-cuts like the thrashy, unwavering ÓLean Into the WindÝ, the powerful anthem ÓHungerÝ and symphonic brutality banger ÓSlave to the RiffÝ provide a weightier sample of the unconventional stylings of AETHER REALM 3.0.

Single: ÓMelodic Death Metal featuring electronic and power metal influences: ÓGoodbye" - the most unforgettable arena-ready metallic anthem on Redneck Vikings From Hell charges forth with organs accenting its first bump-worthy, hooky choruses and galloping verses.Ý 2. Single: ÓWasting no time kicking things off with a smashing groove, ÓSlave to the RiffÝ is an ode to the heavier side of melodic death metal: chock full of rhythmic breaks, skyrocketing guitar solos and even a Latin American/Flamenco interlude, showcasing the bandâs multi-faceted technical talents." 3. Single: ÓA cosmically ethereal piano introduction provides the foundation for the albumâs most heartfelt poem, ÓGuardianÝ: an epic, cinematic ballad with an unforgettable hook and an intense solo rivaling the work of great guitar gods of old.Ý TRACKLISTING 1.
