Here's a hint: it's "Into the Painted Grey."

Ghosts Of The Mindwinter Fires is THE best.

Agreed 100%, that song basically represents what this album had the chance to be. It's the only track on this album that I really love (or even like) the entire way through.

Wat?

No Into the Painted Grey? I actually think the weakest song on this is Black Lake.

Yeah Adam the first verse in Ghosts is arguably the heaviest thing on the album (blah blah blah Into The Painted Grey I know I know but too bad)

Black Lake just goes on too long. Should have been split into two different ideas if you ask me.

I can't get past the abrupt and to my ears sloppy transition in "Ghosts of the Midwinter Fires" between the intro and the "verse" (where the vocals come in). I also don't like some of guitar tones on it. The melodic tremolo picked passage in the pre-chorus and chorus is nice (and also contains a bit of the "Nattens Madrigal" if you ask me and my limited black metal vocabulary), but the drumming backing it leaves something to be desired. Plus, I hear too much of PF and Mantle during the other parts of the song.



"Black Lake Nithstaang"--too patchwork for me to work as a song, although some of my favorite moments on the album are contained within it. Not sure yet whether I love or hate the hoarse, raspy, but emotionally charged black metal invocative screams that for some reason remind me of early Tiamat, although I'm sure trv black metal fans would be able to identify a closer parallel.
