FangörN is a folk metal band from Russia, founded in 2007. Their primary genre is folk metal inspired by fantasy, which is easily heard in their music. There is no doubt that FangörN have designed their own sound, which only they master. The heroic sounds of the keyboard, mixed with a blend of clean vocals, growls and screams really provides the record with an intense and unique feel. All instruments compliment each other in a perfect way, and the atmosphere throughout the album slowly drags you out of time and space and lets you float around in the universe of FangörN, yet to be explored. All respected musicians know how to work with their instruments, and they each get their own respectable role inside the music - Which is a very important factor.

Production wise I don't have much to put my finger on either. It sounds great, and suits the album atmosphere perfectly. Nothing sounds over manipulated, either way around. The album got a nice raw aspect when it comes to the vocals, which is only another nice touch to the end result.

Where The Tales Live On is a folk metal release worth to mention. FangörN has done a superb job with this album, nothing less. After listening to the full album, you can tell that these guys have the motivation in the right place. This isn't just "another folk metal band" - It's FangörN! So, strap on your battle boots, have your blade held high and get ready to join FangörN in the the battle!
