A melodic and symphonic black metal release that at times feels closer to melo death metal considering the guitar work and production. The album is apparently a concept work about the show Once Upon a Time and at some points in the music you can tell they are going for this effect. The mood and atmosphere are brooding and evil and at times it goes a bit too far. Often the chimes and symphonic elements feel artificial and crowd the listener basically forcing you to feel what they are going for. Honestly some of the instrumentation and symphonic bits make the overall effect akin to evil Christmas music, probably not what they were aiming for. The vocalists do well to contrast each other with a good mix of clean and growling takes. In the end the riffs and vocals are rather solid and the synth elements end up taking away from what was established by the former.
