"I picked this album up at random while at the store one time. I was pretty weary since I'm usually not much of a doom metal person, and this album looked as such. I was wrong, this is definitely a good album for the overall metal fan. If you are not into darker bands, you will probably not like this album. The progression of songs is interesting too, as the vocals switch from death to clean often. There are epic sounding songs, as well as thrash/speed sounding songs as well. I think it works out well. This is by far not one of the most defining metal albums to date, but it's certainly a good buy."

"Contrary to some reviewers opinions, I found this to be a top notch Metal album. A familiarity with the Black and Thrash Metal sub-genre's would be a bonus when deciding to purchase the CD. There isn't much point if you don't care for extreme Metal in the first place. Take it from a vehement Metal fan: This is a solid and entertaining release. At first this CD sounds very much like Norway's Ancient. As the album progresses, however, the riffing becomes more solid, the songs speed up and they restructure into a Kalmah, or Eternal Tears of Sorrow-esque Blackened Thrash Metal style. I would recommend this release for fans of the aforementioned bands and give hails to the mighty Finnish Twilight Opera."
