It's quite funny that something you always said you don't like turns up to be very good. It happen all of us and it's going to go on happen to. The latest additional in my case is Vintersorg, the Swedish band that mix Black Metal with Heavy and Folk, but I guess you already knew that. I got their new album and my reaction, before listening to it, was like "damn, why do I have to review this?" but as I said, that was before I had listen to it. Read more ›› |

This album is a pinnacle of Vintersorg's trip into the world of progressive musical patterns (with slight avant-garde touch) and deep philosophical themes. Simply a brilliant work. I guess, it has such a low rating (in comparison with other band's albums) for the reason that it's their least accessible work so far.

A Ayrenon? Sounds a bit, this is good, progressive sound, good driven riffs , BM touch, calm vocals mix whit grows, but calm dominates here. I dont know, I like it, seems he work hard to compose it, more complex to compose as second IMO
