Loved both singles so far, looking forward to hearing more of Fabienne's voice in this sound.

I found Ex Libris to sound better than this.

I really like the cover on this one

It's Travis Smith again, probably my favorite artist in metal.

I liked all the singles released but even I didn't expect the album to be this great. Only questionable track is The Harvest, and by no means it's bad, just pales compared to the rest which is simply stellar. Taranoías, The Prodigal Ones, Premonition, instant bangers. Awen, great ballad, Ànv, brilliant a capella piece. And unlike many many other bands Eluveitie almost always put some phenomenal stuff in the end of the record. All Is One, amazing melodic piece, Aeon of the Crescent Moon, that soprano line before the final chorus is beyond words!! The Prophecy, excellent epic and atmospheric closing track.

Fabienne is star of the show and that's well-deserved.

AND don't forget there also are bonus tracks, we've heard both Aidus and Exile of the Gods and they are pure gold. So far my only complaint is they have different mastering as singles, hope they remade them as album versions.

Easy 9/10 and upon further listens honestly could be 10/10 and best Eluveitie album.

Rather, The Harvest is the best track here.

Hard to judge it. Sometimes I dont get this band, but well even I like it but maybe weirdest album band has composed.

I'm particularly focused towards "Lea-Sophie Fischer" and her vocal range. I heard in pre-release that band was creating too much hype around her. Let us see how it reflected in the sound of studio album.

I'll be jumping on this pretty soon.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a wee bit disappointed with this one, even if overall it's a good release and something I'll return to. I don't think it's as good as the previous. I also feel like the singles were the best songs here, so the full listen was somewhat underwhelming, but like I said, I'll be revisiting it very soon.

Fairly underwhelming effort from a band which I like and tend to have in higher esteem

Been away from these lads since the second effort, but i surely missed a lot of good stuff. This one is great! Awesome mix of folk with gothemburg sounds.

Gave this a fair shot because I really liked Slania when it came out. But this album is bogged down by an overabundance of filler and a lack of real flow. All the frills and absence of cohesion really kill the album’s momentum for me. It made me aware just how much the band seems to be struggling to maintain a cohesive identity.
