[8.5] - Probably their most various and yet coherent release. Simply excellent.

[8.5] - Impressive sophomore record from this band able to blend together many facets of black metal, yet always in a very convincing way.

[8.5] - Probably if the first 3 songs were like the rest of the record we would be talking about a full masterpiece, yet still a very creative and unique record. Let the music speak.

[8.0] - Post/progressive with classy songwriting and memorable melodies.

[8.0] - Yet another crushing record from this band.

[8.0] - I might be overrating it a bit, but this extreme epic folk with great guitar melodies fills a spot in my heart that some of the recent Wintersun/Ensiferum couldn't. Quite tasty.

[8.0] - A very broad spectrum progressive record, sung in Danish. The result is sophisticated and entertaining.

[8.0] - At every record a new deeper dimension is added to his music. Radiant.

[8.0] - Disturbing yet quite intriguing, interesting use of the symphonic elements.

[7.5] - What if Fleshgod Apocalypse and Obscura had a child?

[7.5] - A relaxing doom record for meditation.

[7.5] - Refreshing debut blending extreme metal and female vocals.

[7.5] - Fiery and convincing black metal with mesopotamic inspiration.

[7.5] - I'm genuinely surprised about how prolific and eclectic this musician is.

[7.5] - Black metal with a generous dose of folky and melodic elements, delicious.

[7.5] - A step further from the debut, grandiloquent death metal with an enthralling pace.

[7.5] - Lovely symphonic black that seems to come from a 18 years ago time capsule.

[7.5] - Quite convincing doom death debut, with a rollercoaster of conclusive track.

[7.5] - Lovely old Scar Symmetry vibes with an impressive cast of guests.

[7.5] - Dreamy retro-futuristic post-metal.

[7] - Pleasant modern melodeath with a tasty guitar work.

[7] - I appreciated it more than the previous releases, solid black metal.

[7.0] - Probably their most convincing to me so far, loved the 80's vibe.

[7.0] - Another great release of extreme nordic prog signed by Mister V.

[7.0] - Telluric songs perfected by an extravaganza of extreme vocals.

[7.0] - Not as convincing as the previous record, but still a monstrous one.

[7.0] - If all the record were at the level of the openers, it would be a banger.

[7.0] - Melodic doom/death with good songwriting and balance between clean and harsh vocals. Sublime cover.

[7.0] - Very enjoyable black metal with nice touches of mid '90ies.

[7.0] - It shouldn't be allowed to call it "the usual Igorrr good record", but that is exactly what it is.

[7.0] - Well played melodeath with folk touches.

[7.0] - The usual pleasant Amorphis record.

[7.0] - Missing the hand of Andy Gillion and the sound is overly produced, but less disappointing than I would have expected.

[7.0] - Honest black metal with a Polish declination. Appreciated the use of breaks and changes in the atmosphere to give dynamics to the album.

[7.0] - Post metal with female vocals that hasn't yet found its final form, as the records is a mix of really high moments with forgettable songs. Definitely worth keeping an eye on in the future.

[7.0] - The surprise effect of the debut is gone, yet still a good sophomore record.

[7.0] - A bit more modern than the previous, nothing new but I have a sweet spot for good female fronted rock.

[7.0] - Quite nice technical thrash debut.

[7.0] - Music-wise one of my favorites in years, due to the dynamics and exquisite melodies, but J.J.'s vocals are falling shorter of my expectation year after year. Could easily have been an 8 with another vocalist.

[7.0] - Time machine to Sweden end of '90ies, but still enjoyable.

[7.0] - Quite enjoyable mix of extreme and easy listening.

[6.5] - Progressive sludge ffo Dvne, but not as tasty. Amazing cover.

[6.5] - Gender-fluid, not always spot on but worth keeping an eye on.

[6.5] - Introspective and at times disturbing, not reaching the peaks of Darkher, but enjoyable.

[6.5] - Glad about their comeback.

[6.5] - Meditative cello-based record. Not her most impressive opus, yet a good company to relax.

[6.5] - Sadly their least impressive effort of the decade.

[6.5] - Ok post-metal.

[6.5] - Their melodeath with folk instruments is immediately recognizable and appreciable.

[6.5] - Compelling airy sections meet black metal, but the blend is not seamless yet. The beautiful cover is what impressed me the most.

[6.5] - I would really have liked to enjoy this record more, but didn't convince me. For their standards I find it with very little soul and magic.

[6.5] - More of a soundtrack than an organic record, but enjoyable at times.

[6.5] - Black metal with sporadic middle-age-esque touches.

[6.5] - Ok melodeath with strong Aztec influences.

[6.5] - Would have loved a more organic blending of the death metal and flamenco components.

[6.5] - Intriguing songwriting at time, but not consistently delivered throughout the record.

[6.5] - Melodic black metal with occasional flickering.

[6.5] - A summary of their career including both the memorable symphonic black and the electronic chapters, unfortunately found that the blending of the two could have been more organic.

[6.5] - Respectable and competent meloblack, but not that memorable.

[6.5] - The one I enjoyed the most among the last 3 records, probably also due to a return of heavy guitars, but a Renkse-solo version of the band is far from being compelling to me.

[6.5] - Suomi with former Ghost Brigade's vocalist.

[6.5] - A 100% Saukkonen-sounding record with mostly clean vocals, yet I'm a bit uncertain about which audience is targeting.

[6.5] - Normally not my cup of tea but could fit a meditative evening.

[6.5] - Picked up exactly where Spawn of Possession left.

[6.5] - Decent doom/death with some interesting touches now and then.

[6.5] - Ok black with not so many mid-tempos.

[6.5] - Melodeath/extreme power with folk touches.

[6.5] - Enjoyable pagan/black/folk.

[6.5] - Interesting concept and the use of extra metal instruments gives a good sense of variety. It's a pity that the potential of this release is strongly limited by the production.

[6.5] - Not as captivating as their previous efforts, yet very classy and rich in nuances.

[6.5] - Nice "debut" for the former Glaciation, managed pretty decently some very long tracks without making them hard to go through.

[6.5] - Ok doom/death, I would have enjoyed more variety.

[6.5] - Not as epic as in their previous releases.

[6.5] - I enjoy more then not metallic side, lacking some balance in the composition for me.

[6.5] - Slightly more direct that the two predecessors, but quite far from their masterpieces.

[6.0] - While it's clear that the musicians are very skilled which could make their progressive black a gift, the songs went by barely scratching the surface.

[6.0] - A significant step back from Woe.

[6.0] - Though there is some potential, the vocals have much room for improvement.

[6.0] - Sadly missing the vocal roughness I love them for.

[6.0] - For sure played well and produced properly. I really tried, but can't help finding it incredibly boring.

[6.0] - Well executed but gets wiped out by any of CoB records.

[6.0] - I'm sad to hear that the circus vibe that made them great is once again not back.

[6.0] - Decent issue after the line-up changes, yet only half convincing.

[6.0] - Very technical and in-your-face as usual, but lacking the memorable hits of some years ago. Often found the clean vocals a too much.

[6.0] - Fuzz meets Kvelertak, but not in their best version. Revolting cover.

[6.0] - Melodeath with some potential, but not yet fully expressed.

[6.0] - Didn't follow them properly in a while and sadly this records reminds me why. The cinematic approach has taken over and there's little left for me to enjoy.

[6.0] - Fair black.

[6.0] - Pleasant, but missing something memorable.

[6.0] - Good old rotten black metal.

[6.0] - Sounds like leftovers from the previous release.

[6.0] - Feels like the harsh and the alt/emotional side are disjointed and do not blend organically.

[6.0] - Less memorable than the previous, with a more pronounced -core side.

[6.0] - New name, old cloying compositions.

[6.0] - Nice revival, but sometimes at the edge of self-plagiarism.

[6.0] - Sadly not the same genius band of the debut. Keys have taken over everything and there's little left to enjoy.

[6] - Sadly, a consistent step back from the predecessor.

[5.5] - Instrumental post-metal, unfortunately delivering less than anticipated.

[5.5] - While well executed as usual, the songwriting is perplexing. More cheesy than ever.

[5.5] - The rock elements simply don't work in this context.

[5.5] - Even though the record is more accessible than ever, yet haven't convinced me that it's not just pretentious songwriting and cacophony.

[5.5] - Interesting in the intentions, but the hardcore/thrash soul fails to blend well with the western part.

[5.5] - Besides the melting pot of genres probably one of the most unusual mix of production choices.

[5.5] - The production (especially vocals) sinks an album that -alas- is already not shining for the compositions.

[5.5] - Got my attention with "ffo ETOS", but didn't keep the promise.

[5.5] - I don't disdain symphoblackcore, but while breakdowns are forgivable to Lorna Shore, here they sink the songs.

[5.5] - By far the least inspired release and missing the memorable moments that the previous records had, sounds like the composition was rushed and not completed properly.

[5.5] - Well played, yet lacking in the songwriting. It's really a pity that Fotis Bernardo potential goes wasted in a mediocre record.

[5.0] - Overproduced and overrated record, Bloodhound is way beyond the limit of plagiarism.

[5.0] - Never found the key to enjoy or appreciate them, and yet not found it with this.

[5.0] - This combination of major keys and overwhelming synths is just too much for me.

[5.0] - Too pretentious where instead there is a lack of cohesion and organicity.

[5.0] - Post-metal that unfortunately fails to deliver some worth remembering songs.

[4.5] - Terrible. Lacking substance yet too polished.
