Album Notes & Community Reviews

Following a shift in drumming personnel, the Finnish sextet returned with one of their most devastatingly heavy and melodic records. The album perfectly balances crushing, funeral-doom pacing with lush, gothic keyboard atmospheres and Mikko Kotam盲ki's versatile shifts between brutal death growls and clean crooning. It remains a fan-favorite, highly acclaimed hallmark of Scandinavian extreme doom metal.
