It's decent for what it is, but it seems to me like a lot of this album is doing more plodding than it is actually gaining momentum. I think I'm referring to the first half more so than the second, but getting into this album can be a real chore-especially for those who aren't too well-versed in symphonic black metal. I liked the guitar work in "Eternal Winds" and "Tears from My Eyes" however. The mundane vocals didn't really bring them down that much.
