Lore of Flight

The Flight Of Sleipnir is an American band formed in the winter of 2007 by David Csicsely (Acheronian Dirge, Nexhymn, ex-Throcult) and Clayton Cushman (Acheronian Dirge, ex-Throcult). The project stemmed from a desire to explore ethereal and progressive sounds with lyrics that explore the rich literature of ancient Scandinavia.
Don't let that Electric Wizard or The Sword-like cover art and font lettering on the album cover fool you, this album is not true stoner/doom metal. There's a guitar solo in the first song (and in a couple other places too) that is pretty doom metal-ish but that's about it as Lore by The Flight of Sleipnir is more a down tempo-ed progressive folk rock/metal album that draws strong influence from High on Fire, Ulver, Moonsorrow and latter Enslaved… with a catch. That's a pretty interesting draw and it works…

The Flight of Sleipnir sound has always been quite distinct, the first amongst it’s central tenets is a mid-fi approach. It’s not lo-fi and it’s not polished, it retains that little bit of scratch-and-pop, moderate-levels-of-production edge. This is still the case with “EoN”, and with the first distorted guitar tone that is not that distorted or fuzzed but still so, you know you’re treading familiar waters (if you’ve listened to “Lore”, that is.) That is a definite plus for The Flight of Sleipnir in general, that they have their identity grounded. One more thing: The Flight of Sleipnir has gone softer. Not soft, period, but noticeably softer: there are more acoustic songs, more clean vocals, more atmospheric/acoustic/soft passages.
