Artwork is way better than the Elvenking one.
It's been a long time since I've heard any Dark Forest, but I remember them being more of a traditional metal band than a folk one.

Absolutely and is in the style of their previous albums.

Same here. What I remember is that they had some very slight folk influences and those were quintessentially English folk influences in their NWOBHM styled traditional heavy metal.

Second Opinion:
Load of BS, Susan. I believe I've listened to the record three times already for a publication review, and if I heard any Elvenking at all, it was faint. There are no "extra" instruments as you may find on an Elvenking record, just guitars, drums, bass and vocals. The same setup as the last disc. Record had a lot of strong melodies as their last, coupled with powerful vocal and choral moments. To me, this is just as good as their past album, even if lyrically it didn't really gel with me as much as "The Awakening" did. You're entitled to your opinion as a reviewer, as well as your observation, but I think you're steering fans in the wrong direction. I felt more Skyclad in this than I would've Elvenking. It feels like English folk-inspired metal with a touch on the medieval side.
Elvenking to me were always okay, but this one was much better than what I've heard from those guys (Not that big a fan, really) and frankly, I'd have to recommend it. I will add that it took a few listens to really get into the disc, and it is really fucking long, so that can be a detriment. Not sure how many times you listen to records for review, but I had to let this one soak in a while, while aimlessly browsing social media nonsense. It's not "The Awakening" but it's no average 6.0 either. I gave it an 8.0.

Thought about this some more and realised that Vexillum who do sound like Elvenking, they also have a cover with a tree on the Bivouac album o.O
However I do feel better for reading the second opinion from thefallenalchmst, especially with the mention of Skyclad

Probably fantasy. Looks like the reviewer was on a hell of a trip when she wrote this. She is compairing apples and pears and calls the pears a clone of the apples. Trippy

Just found out that the cover art was done by Duncan Storr, who did quite a few Skycald covers.

This review is full of crap. Beyond the Veil is magnificent, rhytmic, melodic and in some ways atmospheric album. I know a lot of people who enjoyed it, myself included.
