Here we have the last album by this Swedish Horde. This album sees a progression in their music more towards the slow and heavy, with an amazing groove and a very dark and hatefilled aura. The musicianship is most excellent here. Along with the last Lik album this is one of the darker albums on the market. Since the band wanted to distance themselves from the Black Metal scene, this could perhaps be more accurately labelled Dark Occult Metal.
The vocals are more towards the spoken here, with a raspiness that really gives the music that hatefilled mood I mentioned. Graav has found a rather unique vocal style.
The production is very good on this album, with a full sound to it. I really like the guitar sound on this album. The production is somewhat similar to the Lik album mentioned earlier as well, and the bass guitar is used more prominently than on most other releases in metal these days. This is an album that is better if you understand Swedish, since Graav's lyrics are truly amazing, but by no means should you miss out on this album if you don't. This is a really dark and good album!
