Style: powerful aggressive viking death metal
the shape-shifting god of trickery, ever sly Loki is known as deceiver of the godly beings in Norse mythology, this time serving notorious Swedish harmonious death metal giants, using ambivalent image for their expressive ninth studio longplay: it would be hard to blame Swedes a casual approach to the concept, what serves well in strengthening the effect created by music; very solid ten track record on delivery clearly takes the essential elements of their intense yet harmonious direction, featuring aggressive guitar playing, pounding rhythmics, memorable refrains and hooks, still not abandoning the peculiar thunderous atmosphere full of myth-enhanced pathos, thus refining the most important aspects of dynamic and expressive genre
