Like its predecessor this is a much more varied and mature album by Mortiis - these two feel like his magnum opi. There is even less repetition than on the previous LP, and really this one feels like a continuous adventure that does not come back on its own steps, whihc is the first time I can fully say this of a Mortiis album and is a remarkable improvement. It's really epic, with some tavern vibes (eg on 1), some more epic moments, some more introspective moments, and it would really work fabulously as a DnD or other kinda similar thing soundtrack if it werent for my two gripes with this ie some mild volume discrepancies here andthere, but most importantly some of hte vox feeling kind of disruptive. I really like the sort of ethereal choral ones, but the deep ones or the ones that tell you a story are a bit disruptive to the atmosphere imo. Don't tell me the story, let me imagine it! Otherwise a grand Mortiis album. 4.0
