Life after Liv? The first album without her, 2018's Sign Of The Dragonhead, was honestly a bit underwhelming for me, but after hearing it live, some songs grew on me. Yes, Leaves' Eyes played it safe on this one which begged to wonder how The Last Viking would compare.

Those few singles were maybe best what band has put out, but whole albums is generic, same when Alex came main song writer. I remember old ones when Liv was it has some gothic vibe. Now its basically same formula , but some songs works. But is there moral support this band? well we men like young XXXX

They keep trying but always underwhelm. it isn't a bad release . I actually think it's better than the previous one but overall I don't think I'll be listening to it much. average to good album

It's absolutely embarrassing what this band has become.

Leaves Eyes used to be a unique blend of goth, symphonic metal, folk, and viking metal. More importantly, they wrote enchanting melodies with tremendous atmosphere.

... these days, however, it seems they're content to write the same song over and over. They've completely ditched the goth/symphonic aspects, embracing song after song of viking chants, generic riffs, and extremely forgettable choruses. This album has maybe 2-3 songs that are semi-enjoyable... the rest, while not bad, offers absolutely nothing worth returning to. You can tell their heart really isn't into it anymore, it's obviously for the money at this point.
