Every once in a while, the oppressive shackles of tormenting, nihilistic black metal need to be taken off, replaced by the soothing spirituality found in its more eco-friendly cousin. Unfortunately, most bands who attempt this approach end up making their music so fake and transparent that you can't help but think that it has actually been made by some city dweller who never saw a tree or a snow-covered mountain peek other than on photographs he downloaded using the latest smart phone.

Fantastic album, for fans of Agalloch or even casual listeners of atmospheric black metal.

This is something I should have listened a long time ago. Also, this sounds more like early WITTR than Agalloch.
---- Crackhead Megadeth reigns supreme.

I thought about this album for whatever reason while I was travelling to Italy last week. I hadn't listened to it in a few years but wow, what a snorefest. Definitely would have liked this when i was first getting into black metal and atmo-black, but this did nothing for me upon re-listening.
