This album is great, there's so many excellent folkish melodies and some great guitar and synth work.

A thoroughly solid album. I think I liked World Serpent a little more but they are quite close in terms on quality. While Narkissos isn't amazing it doesn't feel it has much down time and there is almost nothing I dislike about it. This guy always knows how to write great riffs and make distinct atmospheres.

Greta album band keeps own vibes and plays good one, something old, something new vbut anyway indersting.

How do you distinguish this as a black metal?
Lots of melodies, clean vocals, folk melodies......pls some staff members, enlighten me on this.

PS: I am liking this album.

I think that is more of a legacy categorization than anything because the band used to play much more straight forward black metal even though those other attributes were always present. There are still plenty of black metal elements here like at the start of tracks 1, 3, and 6 for example, but yes black metal doesn't entirely describe the album and it has a lot of moments that wouldn't be considered trve black metal

This should be categorised as good metal. Class 1 album. Almost as good as their previous one.
