Release Year: 2005
Artist Origin: SWE
Style: gloomy dramatic emotional doom metal

second full-length of emotional doom metal masters from the North is a concept story in eight parts that details the fall of Lucifer from heaven and eventual creation of hell - lengthy enough compositions have quite complex structure regardless the fact that music flows smoothly, developing dramatic patterns in darker, gloomier and heavier metal way, winking at mid-nineties era MDB here and there, yet maintaining a personal standing out character with a strong poetic background not to be lost in a cauldron of other similar artists; these compositions are often considered classic of mournful and subtle yet certainly uplifting genre, building up a depressing atmosphere of deranged lunacy, while monumental artwork by Travis Smith adds some extra flavour; recent Austrian edition comes with authentic design
