I hate to say this but for me, edit the word "his" and put in the word Be'lakor's. Maybe this is why I find this and Fractal Gates so refreshing at the moment.

In that case we have a completely different taste here because the last two Be'lakor* albums never get old for me. Saukkonen's efforts are just meh these days, there's plenty more interesting MDM in the Finnish scene.

* Point proven: Be'lakor doesn't have an uppercase 'L' since your [band] tag wasn't picked up

Ha, thanks for that...

I dont know how Tuomas does it but he always takes my vote

Very good one but the vocals definietly need some diversity.

Tuomas never fails you!

Very solid melodic death metal album, though for me some of the songs are a little too similar to each other. Nonetheless, there are some great moments to be found here, more so in the longer songs than others. Highlights then for me would be "Routa Pt 2" and "Chasm", though I did like the more extreme sounds in "Ghosts of Karelia" too.

Just packed with awesomness.

Decent album with a really great opener: "The Hunt" which is for me the best song here. Unfortunately the rest cant hold that level, even though some other songs (Whiteout for example) are quiet nice, too.

I need a sweater, it’s so cold and chaotically beautiful.

This is pretty good, I will explore this band some more.
