A I like black metal, and I like this a lot, although, as DF says, the first minute didn't fit.
B A might have ben in Norwegian, but it made more sense to me than this, notionally in English. I don't understand reggae, toasting, or dub, any more than I 'get' jazz. I'm not going to diss this, but my vote goes to A

The production sort of kills the U-Roy track. I know it's not supposed to be slick or anything, but maybe have him back away from the mike a bit on the yelps..Minus the first part, prefer the first track..Vote A

A – harmless flute and fingerpicking that wouldn’t wake your granny and then blam, a plague of locusts descends on your living room. Where’s everyone gone? It’s like the Mary Celeste around here all of a sudden. B – a timely pick given the untimely passing etc. Hardly the most cracking U-Roy track but it’s exemplary of his style, I suppose.

I quite enjoyed A surprisingly as it's way out of my comfort zone. B would have won me over were it not for that intensely annoying yelping.

Bergtatt is part of a trilogy which places medieval themed folk alongside second wave black metal and folkloric lyrics, and is largely seen now as the moment when BM's critical focus shifted away from the Mayhem/Burzum/Darkthrone circles. I recognise that it's not in the foreground of most users' taste here so I'm glad it has got some appreciation from the comments.
I'm not a reggae fan aside from some of the Scratch Perry stuff and this isn't shifting that. He sounds like he's having fun though.

No matter how you dress it up Metal is the preserve of the goober.
U
Prefer the Chris Rea version. Seems like the town madman stumbled into the studio and wrestled with the mic while the band were laying down the groove.
