grandiloquent fourth full-length by infamous Norwegian supergroup is an unquestionable bestseller and a benchmark release of bombastic neosymphonic black metal genre, brimming with highly atmospheric drama and unprecedented majesty raising the tension, thanks to much more effective dynamics and lush vocals, shared by Shagrath together with a then guest appearance of Simen Hestnæs [Arcturus], becoming an important cornerstone of the crew further on; there is no room left for a single imperfection and any just average sounding track here - all nine compositions, recorded at Swedish Abyss Studio with the classic considered line-up, prove much bettered skills and utmost dedication in full; recent German edition
