Removed from the "tasty" list - mini-review: "The appeal of Mors Principium Est never quite resonated with me, so it came as a surprise when I found out Andy is the band's primary songwriter. While certainly more upbeat in comparison to his work in aforementioned band, there are plenty of parallels that can be drawn: tight and galloping riffs, virtuosic leads, key-melding tapping, all augmented by a layered symphonic undertone. While the power and Gothenburg metal influences take the forefront of the album's sound, Andy has taken heed from modern prog inclinations, tastefully applying influences from the likes of Plini and David Maxim Micic. The exception to the album is the 3rd track, "Skyless", which is easily the best written instrumental Wintersun song I've heard, and easily my favourite track on the album. Despite this being a solo record of a technically-inclined guitarist, there is no such unwarranted aural fretboard abuse".
