This is good, rare case I dont say much about length, Its super long album, good BM partrs mixing whit Wardruna. Seems he tells more old nordic saga not sings. Its album to those what has patinate. Small shamanic vibes similar as Wardruna has.

Great release, probably gonna listen to it a couple of times for it to really unfold. But I really love the heathen vocal chant harmonies mixed with the cold raw black metal sound

It requires patience and attention but such a rewarding listen. i enjoyed enormously both instrumental folk parts and chants and black metal parts. it is very long, it is basically a double album. "folk" parts really remind me of Heilung without female vocals, its like that epic nordic sound mixed with bm. also this is clearly an album which is meant to be experienced as an journey, as seamless transitions suggest. very, very good stuff

It's a good album definitely but it's also really long. There were times where it felt like the album was plodding along incessantly. I love the folky parts more than the black metal parts which felt more chaotic.

I think you're more likely to enjoy the EP they dropped last year then.
