you cannot take away energy and motivation from the Swedes even after quarter of a century since their formation - fourteen explosive tracks make up an impressive and fresh recording, the narrative of which evolves around inner human state, isolation, search for identity and relationship with the surroundings, musically turning into one of the most ambitious attempts to unite different directions into a cohesive album: melodic Gothenburg death metal meets more modern, rhythm-driven approach yet instead of a forced compromise a natural musical balance is achieved, where aggression, harmony and structural flexibility operate as one single mechanism, with Björn showcasing remarkably wide vocal range, further expanding the emotional scope, while both guitarists respond not only with technical precision but also unexpected innovation, allowing songs to constantly progress; German gatefold sleeve double crystal clear vinyl edition with twenty page sleeve-sized booklet and hot foil silver print on the sleeve is strictly limited to 2900 units
