Wasn't a big fan of this, didn't really like the progressive elements.

I personally think this is so much better than the likes of those weakling / wolves in the throne room clones (=

Just coming by to add that this album is great... Although the comparison with Weakling and WITTR is odd to say the least.

Turns out this album remains as greast as it was several years ago. It managed to break itself from the A Forest Of Stars formula with a much gritty sound and more focused on black metal.
Lovely, haunting music.

Yeah I agree, it's really good and sounds more like if the first AFOS album went into a slightly different direction. Follow up seems to have diverged even more and went more folky
