Metal takes hold death starts to unfold
It's loud like the worlds at an end
Your in a blood fury the metal won't stop
Onlookers they bang at command
Cutting your palm and drinking your blood
The power that few others dare
You feed the need to go

Does anyone know where I can find the lyrics?
The booklet contains nothing but images and Google, for the first time, has let me down

"UnderCurrent" is my favorite song...wow ..what a build up!
Along with Barren Earth's debut, this is a choice for album of the year!

Conveys the desolate mood of the cold frozen wastes of another planet (or Norway) perfectly. Very strong contender for Prog of the year. Undercurrent and On the Shores are brilliant and timeless masterpieces and the Sax, no matter how "novelty factor for the sake of it" it may be, really pushes the envelope for the album.

I can't stand that devin townsend/syl sound ihsahn has added to this album.
What exactly is that... the production? I agree that many albums this year were over-produced, taking the rawness and atmosphere out, but didn't think this was one of them.

Mostly the style how guitars, bass and drums sound; which of course are part of the production too. still the production overall has succeeded, maybe not my cup of tea. so the sound is now closer to what i mentioned: townsend/syl. Also some melodies, solos and song structures are a little closer to townsend. ok, i can stand this sound, but i would had been happier if ihsahn had chosen some other way to stay fresh.
I understand now, can definitely hear some Townsend-esque styles in this album, that may be why I like this one more than Ihsahn's previous efforts

HI. Excause my English, i'm from Ukraine. Our fans of Ihsahn have great request to english-speaking fans. It's about "After". SOMEBODY! please, write here lyrics from this album of Maestro, at least one song each. You can find 5 minutes of your own time and History won't forget it!!! :] there are no lyrics in Web, but i think, that listening to Ihsahn, most of your understand it by ear. We here discern only type words - cause of Maestro's extreme vocal :[ United Metal appeals to your ears! :]]] Russia, Belarus and Ukraine - here are thouthands of fans of Ihsahn and Emperor and nobody knows where to find lyrics of "After" even in English... With hope - Sergey.

Such an interesting album, definitely one of my best of the year. I love the use of saxophone, such a treat, but the atmosphere is what makes this album. The atmosphere provides such a unique cradle for the instrumentation and melodies to grow.
Love it.

Prog metal fans should really check out this album, for me it is the best one that 2010 gave us.
Awesome raw and clean vocals, fretless bass, intense riffing and the incorporation of the sax make of this album, if not multiple orgasm generator, an interesting listen.

The best of ihsahn's solo albums if im honest. I,like many other, love what he's done with the saxophones, but he has still maintained that epic, atmospheric sound found on all three ihsahn albums. Great piece of progressive metal\m/

I cannot comprehend why this album isn't rated higher than The Adversary and angL. This is just SO much better every single aspect

Opinions mate....opinions Also you have to consider the fact that this album has several more votes than the previous albums, so I'm guessing that the lower score is a result of several voters stepping out of their comfort zone and sequentially rating the album lower than fans of this sort of music or band might.
