Your Review:

Unfortunatelly this album is totally uninspired.
I mean, it's noticeable they tried to make a good work:

- They've let Simen do the clean vocals in most of the songs;
- Vintersorg did the grim vocals and mixed his clean vocals with Simen's;
- Simen wrote and sang alone a song
- Lars wrote and sang alone another song
- Oysten wrote lyrics with the nature theme, something related to their Olden Domain album

It should have worked. But, everything went wrong.

- None of the songs are 'catchy'.
- The lyrics are uninspiried: even though they talk about nature; seasons; etc. they are forgetable. Also, there's a passage that says "a mountain (...) where the wind explodes". Seriously, Oysten? The wind exlpodes? Pff
- Lars' song is out of place: "Beauty of dead cities"? It would fit on a solefald album.
- Vortex's song is also uninspiried.

I'd probably highlight the openning track. It starts powerfully but it doesn't keep the pace.

Anyway, this album is their worst since their debut album.
