Comment: 

An interesting and largely unexplored theme, an original singing, harrowing compositions. Above all, the album has really a stylistic unity, between a rough and wintry doom, and some raised parts, more slow and atmospheric. Slow rhythms, heavy guitars and serious, the voice of Seppänen is still captivating with his inimitable voice's tone and his Russian song.

Esoteric Folk mixed with psychedelic and occult rock; Mysterious atmospheres created by acoustic guitars, mandolin, banjo, violins and melancholic vocals. Quality songwriting. And a great special guest named Carl-Michael Eide (VIRUS / VED BUENS ENDE).

Comment:

One of the most "epic" sounding black metal albums I know.Some might say that Srontgorrth is one of the biggest monument in the history of Black Metal, and in my opinion they're not far from reality. Everything is great in this records. Comparable to Arckanum, Helheim and Limbonic Art. Recommended...

Comment:

Not quite post-metal, and not quite post-rock, it's the kind of music you can't classified, it would be too reducing.Such a solid release. For fans of: Isis, Pelican & Mogwai
