Surprisingly good. Intense atmosphere, beautiful melodies, great clean vocals and aggressive when it needs to be. Vernal Equinox is a calm, eerie masterpiece, while The Seer's Embrace and Of Moss And Stone are more balanced and the epitome of composition in this album.

This is even not my genre but I horribly love it

Yeah same. The female vocals remind me of Swans' Jarboe. There's something calming about it that just resonates with me. It's just a great Sunday morning coming down album.

Initially i rated this a 9, but it grew on me. These guys play music that is closest to their hearts, and it really shines through. This and "When a Shadow Is Forced into the Light" is the most genuine and heartfelt albums of the year.

The current rating of 7 point 9 is wrong. It takes time to appreciate this type of music, but when it does click, it's like being directly connected to nature from your living room.

Great record.

Jarboe is actually a guest vocalist here

Btw, I can't get enough of this album.

That'd be why then.

Nice melodic post metal with good violin work.

Jesus fuck that opening track hits hard
