"The Dark Hereafter" is a bummer for multiple reasons:
1. It's too short.
2. Quite a bit of the runtime either isn't new material or isn't Winterfylleth's material.
3. They did a cover of one of the most boring black metal-era Ulver songs, and didn't make it any
more interesting.
4. Seriously why did they record an almost perfect impersonation instead of injecting themselves
into the track?
Despite those pretty glaring faults, Winterfylleth's newest output isn't that bad. In fact, it's
fairly decent--crappy Ulver cover aside. It's solid-ish epic/folk/black metal; it's just not
amazing, and there's not enough original material to make it as good as previous outputs.

First, I have to say I enjoyed the Ulver cover. Yes, it’s completely faithful to the original but I really liked the original so it was a nice surprise the first time I heard it here. Much like the band’s decision to do a no-frills cover song, though, the rest of the album is basically a no-frills approach to their folky black metal sound. I appreciate that direction, because when these folk-inspired bands start really laying on the cheese, I lose interest quick. These guys are still basically melodic black metal with a folk influence that accentuates instead of ruins the songs. The Dark Hereafter is another great release from these melodic/folk black metallers. The fact that they end with an Ulver cover just seals the deal.
