"It is hard to believe that a band could be able to surpass such a release!" LEGACY
"A work that surely isn't going to lose its substance in years to come!" METAL HAMMER (DE)

"Clanging music in its purest form – Helrunar were, are, and remain important!" ROCK HARD (DE)
"The albums are thoroughly convincing in their variation and depth, and they have no rival in that! Highly recommended!" METAL-INSIDE.DE
"These roughly 93 minutes constitute the pinnacle of Helrunar's work so far, convincing in concept and the sophisticated song-writing. Fans of Black Metal who aren't wearing genre blinkers just will have to get hold of this!" BEATBLOGGER.DE
"Skald D. and Alsvartr reinvent themselves and Helrunar with 'Sól', pushing forcefully into the champions' league of blackest metal!" TWILIGHT-MAGAZIN.DE
"Indubitably, Helrunar have presented a masterwork with 'Sól', that is without question." THE-PIT.DE

"Perfect, an absolute masterpiece!!! Get this future classic!" METALGLORY.DE
