Album Notes & Community Reviews

Comprised of veterans from prominent Finnish metal acts like Amorphis and Moonsorrow, the supergroup's sophomore outing deeply refines their fusion of 1970s progressive rock and Scandinavian extreme metal. The production heavily features vintage keyboard tones and sweeping clean vocal harmonies set against brutal death metal grooves and guttural roaring. The record vividly captures a sense of melancholic, folklore-tinged grandiosity synonymous with the Finnish metal scene.
