"Over a year has passed since I first heard this album and it continues to astound. Fans of early Ulver, Emperor, Negura Bunget get this."

Bleak atmospherical metal

"Essential for anyone into black metal/dark ambient/ atmospheric black metal, or good music in general. This album was an absolute must for me to pick up after "Two Hunters" and I was not disappointed. I love the epic, eerie fuzzed out landscapes that cascade from the speakers/headphones( there is no song on here under 13 min.) reminding me of witnessing some pagan fairy tale of suspense and magic within a forest of darkness. Although the album is one of the dark atmospheric variety it has some painfully beautiful moments as well, almost as if a soul is being saved by a priestess or guardian from beyond, or a fallen warrior/hero is being celebrated upon death for his bravery(think Tolkien or any viking pagan saga). Very pagan feeling....if you enjoyed "Two Hunters" you will love this one too."
