Album Notes & Community Reviews

Often cited as a creative return to form, the eighth studio album from the Finnish metal titans recaptures the blistering neoclassical energy of their early catalog. The release notably features both the fastest and slowest compositions of their career, seamlessly blending atmospheric black metal influences with Alexi Laiho's signature frantic guitar heroics.
