Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded during a tumultuous transitional period, this album features Niels Duffhues on lead vocals before Anneke van Giersbergen joined the band. The release experiments with a fusion of doom-laden riffs and clean, theatrical singing, moving the Dutch group deeper into atmospheric gothic metal territory.
