| 5.0 classic | OceanOfWisdom | August 31st 11 |
This is essentially the culmination of everthing that Simen Hestnaes (ICS Vortex) has ever been a part of, and you can hear that in ever facet of this album. Regardless of your opinion on Dimmu Borgir, Arcturus, Lamented Souls, or even Borknagar; This album easily deserves a listen, if not to simply see that Vortex is easily capable of something INSANELY respectable on his own. This is a Clean Vocal/Metal Masterpiece in, and of itself.

Love Simen Hestn?s vocal performance here--lots of different styles, majestic and towering, unique, but probably love/hate in the same way that Getty Lee's vocals are (for the record I'm on the "love" side for him too).rThere's also a variety of musical styles here--the aggressive black metal opener, folkier riffs, Norwegian proggy stuff. Asgeir Mickelson's drumming is immense as usual. Almost all the tunes are catchy, especially on the first half. So why the 3.0? Because there's nothing complex enough or truly outstanding enough to hold this listener's attention beyond the first few spins. Not quite on the level of those Borknagar and Arcturus that Hestn?performed on.

This better be good, or else Tyr is going to get a beatdown.

Includes a couple of interesting and simple songs, but most tracks are pretty average or
even dull.
