Album Notes & Community Reviews

The fourth studio album from the Finnish folk metal heavyweights significantly dials up the orchestral grandeur and cinematic atmosphere of their heroic anthems. Produced by Tero Kinnunen and Janne Joutsenniemi, the record seamlessly blends aggressive melodic death metal riffing with expansive traditional folk instrumentation. It remains a definitive statement of bombastic, fantasy-driven extreme metal.
