Moonspell tackle an interesting theme for their latest and dance around with solid but somewhat mixed results. What can't be denied is the effort and ambition, which is basically a given at this point in their career. A few more moments of taking greater charge with the grand nature the album is so clearly hungry for would've elevated this into a top metal album contender for 2017, but alas, it remains a nominee for interesting metal album of the year.
