OMG what happened to these guys? Is this really the same band that released Painter's Palette and Pain Necessary To Know? Their previous album was pretty disappointing but this sounds even worse.

Coming back to this, it is one of my all time favorite albums. So sad that people can't appreciate it because it is so different to prior Ephel Duath albums. The ability to so perfectly mix growls and pitched vocalized lyrics so that you barely notice a transition, and that when pitched, they so perfectly blend with the guitar pseudo-melody. Then the production is impeccable. I ought to see if this is available in 24 bit 96 KHz, as there are only a few albums I think are worth that level of quality.
