This has a nice atmosphere to it. i like how epic each track ends up being, without going overboard and wandering into mainstream territory. This is probably the beginning of their rise to a bigger audience, though that hasn't really affected the way they play music since.

Gods To The Godless is still the best Primordial song. Its almost even better in the liveversion that comes with To The Nameless Dead. Its just so

Idea and lyrics,story are more important, enter a pagan or you will never understand meaning, same like some elitists cant understand Windir.
I say this is where this band sound as we known born.
