Thank You, Nikarg! To say that I am overwhelmed by the review would be an understatement. I gotta be honest, I was dreaming/hoping for a score of 7.5, but an 8? My mind is blown. And the review itself... it seems that everything I aimed for, I achieved with The Essence Of Winter. "More like Agalloch and less like Eldamar", it's almost like You were reading my mind . I am also really glad that Midwinter Feast is Your favorite track as it is also my personal favorite song I've ever composed.
Also, I am surprised that You didn't say something like "the album loses some momentum in the middle" because that's how I myself have come to feel, In all seriousness though, THANK YOU! for the review. And now it's back to work on the next album for me.

You're welcome mate. I mean every word and I don't think it loses momentum in the middle, "Fortress Of Decadence" is my second favourite song As I told you before, I believe it needs to get the exposure it deserves. Looking forward to the next one! (also hoping for more lyrics and growling)

More lyrics and growling are definitely part of the plan ;-)

You totally read my mind! Seriously, I wanted to write this in the review, because it is exactly what I thought when listening to the album. Decided against it, since the review is fanboyish enough

Haha! Cool. Let me know what You think once You've listened to the entire thing. I also remember You giving some very useful constructive feedback to me something like a year ago, when I was creating my first songs (which all kind of sucked tbh). Thanks for that! I might not have pushed myself as far, had it not been for advice and criticism form You and others here on MS.

I am not sure who you have in mind, but I'd go for Vektor's ex-guitarist and the band's mind-blowing album last year.

I don't find Vektor all that mindblowing, tbh, but he is one. another being Obscura's and Pestilence's Dutch ex-bassists
or Process Of Guilt's vocalist guitarist or the vocalist of a certain Dutch melodic death doom band and there are more

No he is not, even band musically and lyrical is million times better as Burzum , Burzum is pioneers, classic, BM cat and Varg was most know whit his acts and hatred and speech. Unless Matreen wont go to Narva and throw Molotov in orthoxia symbol and building where that symbol stands, or do some US tye gun actions in may 9 agant old people from war , it wont mean much and wont be Varg.

Agreed with the second paragraph (and the review in general). Atmo-black really is splitted between the 2 note-tremolo-riffing with plastic keyboard cheese that leads nowhere and the actual emphasis on creating a particular atmosphere through varied riffing, well placed keys and songwriting.
The first song in particular is a "how to" example for the second type (I fucking love some of the riffs and progressions... almost something Drudkh-ish in the vibe, yet with a different sound).

I'm guessing that in his analogy, I am Vatican and Varg is USA. Which is fair, since I've released just 1 album and I doubt I will ever create anything as awesome as Det Som Engang Var. Oh, and I also don't feel like stabbing unarmed people in the back 16 times...

I hear a strong Dråpsnatt vibes here.. Especially in the middle section of "Winter's Bane II - Lurkers In The Dark". Am I the only one?
