Pretty solid symphonic/meloblack release this, very traditional BM melodies and songwriting with a quality modern production, but after hearing about the successful projects Tom O'Dell has offered his hand in, such as Dwarrowdelf, Sojourner, and Battle Born I expected this to be pretty good, his a very talented musician after all, and this proves his a good songwriter too.

I completely agree! This release is a great example of symphonic/meloblack done right. The traditional BM melodies and songwriting are expertly woven together with a modern production that really brings out the best in the music. And yeah, Tom O'Dell's involvement is definitely a big plus - his work with Dwarrowdelf, Sojourner, and Battle Born is top-notch, and it's great to see him bringing his talents to this project as well. The guy's a seriously talented musician and songwriter, and it shows in the quality of the music.
