Great album! One of the best of the year regarding black metal.

Need to give it another spin (yes it leaked ) but already my first feeling is that I'm going to buy it asap !

Great release. My favorite album this year(along with Earthless). they deserve more attention

Kind of bored me a lot of the time. Cool for one listen but I won't be revisiting this one.
It doesn't help that the album is 70 minutes long.

This is an absolute borefest. I couldnt make it halfway through the album.

I'm really not sure how I feel about this album. Think this one will need a few more listens first.

Very disappointed. By far not as good as their 4 previous albums
When I first listened it I just thought the songs have a slow start only to get intresting later. But after a few listens I can safely say that most of all these songs never get intresting at all. I knew they would change their sound again but this is just plain boring and not the Dark Fortress I know.

RIP yet another good band that seems to be out of ideas.

Excellent album, certainly one of the better experimental extreme metal releases of 2014. The majority of songs here constantly remind me of Triptykon and Opeth, but obviously not in a copycat sort of way. My only slight problem is that the band sound like they're trying too hard sometimes, and so the running time could do with being cut by 10 minutes, but it's made up for by the likes of "The Deep" and "Lloigor". My personal highlights would be the title track, "On Fever's Wings" and "The Deep".

My favorite release so far this year! I love the long lingering tracks. Great concept too! This is my first experience with Dark Fortress. Are their other albums similar? Which one should I purchase next?

Thanks, I will

Very interesting staff and their work...I am must say Yes!...My favourite album of this year too.

Wow, this is perfection. I'm not a fan of melodic subgenre, but this is probably the best bm release of 2014!

Hands down my favorite album this year. Lloigor is probably my favorite track.

After just one spin I can't say I want to revisit it. The album simply is WAY too long for that. And it really doesn't offer anything new. Not much variety to be found here. So I guess I'm with Frudd/Frodd/Fradd (or whatever the hell his name is ) and Zaphod on this one.

I don't buy CD's anymore but this albums atmosphere scared the crap out of me

Great album, Dark fortress has increasingly progressed over the years in my opinion.

Redneck

This is not MBM what band plaid, hard to label, but mayeb gothic touch, but its diferent album but good, better as latest few no doubt, more you listen, more you like, long souns, acoustic pasages, female guest vocals, this is album to like.

I went to see Dark Fortress last night and they blew me away. It's such a shame we won't be hearing any more new music from this fantastic band because cometh the end of this tour, that's it for them.

I played this opus during the drive back home. Not a second of the 1 hour and 11 minutes are wasted, but my highlights are 'Chrysalis' and 'Luciform'.

Dark Fortress albums take a lot of time and a few spins to weave their majesty, but the reward is great.
