Here's what the press says about "The White Goddess":


ROCK HARD (D): 10/10 – Album of the Month
"You haven't heard a better metal album in the past ten, probably 20 years."

POWERMETAL.de (D): 10/10 
"Epic Metal won't get better than this."

MUSIKREVIEWS.de (D): 15/15
"'The White Goddess' is only sheer perfection. It is simply THE point of reference when it come to Epic Metal. Anything but the top grade would be a sacrilege."

METAL MIRROR (D): 10/10
"The White Goddess is simply a total work of art. An album, you've been subconsciously waiting for as a metal fan for years. The iron aura of early Manowar meets the grandeur of Bathory and the unique elegy of While Heaven Wept. The result is a piece of music, which will stand unrivaled for a long time to come."

METAL CRYPT (USA): 5+/5
"For depth of composition, feeling, and meaning; for integrity and a devotion to real metal above all things, Atlantean Kodex stands completely alone."

STORMBRINGER.at (A): 5/5
"Who the fuck are Manowar?!"


SPIRIT OF METAL (F):
"In 2013 Atlantean Kodex are the quintessence of traditional metal, they're more perfect in everything. Burn your collections of impure CDs in their honour. If you keep only one CD, it will be this one. Amen." 

FORGOTTEN SCROLL (GRE):
"The Kodex are seriously taking a high -if not the highest- slot on the Epic Metal pantheon of today. Quorthon would be happy, he would smile from sky high listening to his sons."

The White Goddess - First reviews

The first reviews are being published on the internet:


FORGOTTEN SCROLL
http://www.forgotten-scroll.net/review.php?act=s_rev&id=622&rev=Countraven

"I remember very well my mention about the 'Golden Bough' to be on the list of the most important Epic Metal albums of this decade. Well with the "White Goddess" album the band have managed to reach a HIGHER LEVEL […]

the Kodex are seriously taking a high -if not the highest- slot on the Epic Metal pantheon of today. Quorthon would be happy, he would smile from sky high listening to his sons."

TIME FOR METAL - 10/10
http://www.time-for-metal.eu/include.php?path=article&contentid=10967

"Ein vollkommen entspanntes Meisterwerk"

_________


ROCK OVERDOSE - 95/100
http://www.rockoverdose.gr/news_details.php?id=24927

"An epic elegy, a call to battle! […] I sucked up every note of it, I enjoyed every melody. Albums like this do not come often anymore ..."

_________


METAL OBSERVER.COM - 9/10
http://www.metal-observer.com/articles.php?lid=1&sid=1&id=20229

"The production is great and atmospheric, the musicians are top notch, the lyrics are perhaps the best written the genre has seen in a while and it's very epic, perhaps too much. This is still the best Epic Metal album of 2013, I, without certain restraints, welcome the new reigning kings to their throne."

_________



PROGRESSIVE XGROOVES RADIO - 9/10

"Atlantean Kodex deliver with 'The White Goddess' something special. EPIC is the word! With album tracks mostly clocking in 10 minutes or more, it takes you on a musical journey. Progressive edges (Fates Warning) combined with Manowar/Bathory grandeur! This is an album for a long time to enjoy! RATING: 9 stars (out of maximum 10 stars)." 
       ---  Pieter_V / Progressive X Grooves radio

UNDERGROUND MUSICK ZINE (USA)
http://undergroundmusickzine.blogspot.de/2013/08/atlantean-kodexthe-white-goddess.html

"In  my  opinion  Atlantean  Kodex  are  a  very  great  sounding  epic  heavy/doom  metal  band  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  this  album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  'Sol  Invictus  (With  Faith  And  Fire)'  'Twelve  Stars  And  An  Azure  Gown  (An  Anthem  For  Europa)'  and  'The  White  Goddess  Unveiled  (Crown  Of  The  Sephiroth)'.  RECOMMENDED  BUY."

The Annihilation of Bergen

"I recall that the people went about with pale and worried faces, and whispered warnings and prophecies which no one dared consciously repeat or acknowledge to himself that he had heard. A sense of monstrous guilt was upon Norway, and out of the abysses between the stars swept chill currents that made men shiver in dark and lonely places."
