This is a more 'metal' album than its predecessor, but what a rollercoaster ride. Grossman is awesome on the drums and McMaster goes from manic to passionate heart-rending croons.
Tiso's guitar work and songwriting make a brilliantly captivating listen.. the smooth low end growl and lead lines of the rhythm guitar creating moving passages, fluctuating parts full of inspiration, beauty,dissonance and..hope.. the spiritual enlightenment aluded to.
A truly fantastic work!

This is an album I kep coming back to. A great blend of symphonic, black, folk and melodeath elements.
The songs move seamlessly along with no filler to be found making for a realy enjoyable listen from start to finish... and a persistent urge to spin it again and again. I,m looking forward to further material... but a great job to kick off !

This is the kind of Album that,once you have listened to it for the first time, you feel the urge to listen to it over and over again and as you do it just gets better and better! Great songwriting,intriguing lyrical themes and an awesome production leave me thinking that its only flaw is that its too short.

This album galloped up to me from the dark, grabbed me by the hair and dragged me at an unstoppable pace through the nordic forests. When I was finally let go, bruised and bloody, I lay there - with a huge grin on my face, ready to have it done to me all over again!
What a ride...
