This was surprisingly enjoying. I like the celtic elements and the carefree feeling you get from some songs. The Festival was nice instrumental song but maybe The Ghost was my favorite overall. I liked many songs though.

I thought this tracklist looked a little too familiar for a second right after looking at the Hanging Garden album

It's well as al I'm more Celtic folk metal as Celtic black pagan metal. Irish vibes in a singing brings back memories how good Irish folk music actually is. Hail to the accent. Really enjoyed this album

Who will review it? Andy?

This album was just too much of the same song with a different melody for me. Within each song, the melody often felt repetitive. I think I would have enjoyed it more with 8 tracks, not 12. There were sparks of great ideas but it felt like they were drowned in the sea of less interesting stuff.

Not sure if this is a nine or ten out of ten for me. Might be subjective, because it is a band I love but.. plain awesome folk pagan metal / melodic black-death metal.

I was taken to the song The Dead randomly by spotify and it was so interesting with dark folk melodies and black metal mixed together that I decided to check this whole album and was pleasantly surprised how good it was. Very well done and coherent

Great album. I had a lot of fun listening to Irish folky anthems and they never disappoint me.

And there is a rip-off Korpiklaani levan polkka in "The Children", if anyone noticed.
