So you might probably think, "oh another blender of all music" sort of album but surprisingly it's not.
Certainly the lead guitar is the driving force for the album. It is crafted beautifully and flows with each song perfectly. Generally the album is placed into mid tempos occasionally building into slower and faster passages. If the first two tracks, "Cold Blue Steel' and "Tales From A Winter To Come" surprise you with great guitar performance then the third track "Nostalgiaplatz" will certainly devour you with its very distant and melodious tone under which clean vocals are layered perfectly.
Overall the whole album is a very interesting take on the death/doom genre with a progressive approach. With each spin certainly it becomes more melodic, powerful and above all meaningful. It might be that hidden treasure buried underneath and you just have to pick it up.

Nice review, although a but short, don't you think?  Anyways, this is a really good album. Agreed on the highlighted tracks. This may very well be my third most favourite Novembre, after The Blue and the majestic Novembrine Waltz.

Good review but in my book this is way above 8.0. "Winter 1941" alone is a masterpiece that rivals Opeth's best songs.
