title and cover artwork already suggests these latest songs written by Swedish mega-band are different from what they have been constructing on the previous grandiose concept - it is not their first comeback to more energetic, rocking repertoire but regardless of many trademark features familiar from the past catalog, the expression of music, smooth, creative transitions, majestic yet mysterious atmosphere and heaviness button pushed harder make these eleven numbers sound very apt and delicious, backed up by guest appearance of Marco Hietala and Mats Levén, among others; limited German "producers" edition comes in three panel digipak and includes five extra tracks, four of them are various versions of Tuonela
