Cool bm with some slaying riffz, but also with some protracted material. Unlike some of the others here I find the folk/synth additions very fitting, as they make the otherwise quite hollow and pale prod feel a tad fuller and more powerful. In fact I find the album works best when those elements are mixed to the bm, whereas when they're not like on 3 the tracks feel weaker. 4 does make it work though thanks to fuller tones and textures, and quite fat midtrack riffage. 2 has some fun riffs too. In 6 the synthy elements do feel a bit contrived I agree, but the riff at min 7 slays hard. Sadly it is quite short, and the lengthy outro brought this right back down to a (sorry DDD) 3.2

It's cool pagan bm, but I never was a huge fan of this type of folk black metal (always was more of a Agalloch boi, sorry garas). It's typically the kind of stuff I understand the appeal for, but can't enjoy as much as others. For example, I'm pretty sure peepz who enjoy this kind of bm like the flutes/violins/etc., but I usually find them cheesy and more annoying than anything. Nonetheless, these Finnish dudes managed to pull out a record I thoroughly liked despite my gripes on the genres.

| 4.5 superb | Chino smoking it up! | February 24th 20 |
Okay...Imma cut it straight...I'm not a folk fan but this Finnish trio's debut is making me
reconsider. Sweet cheeseless and fast folk BM, super cool keyboards (of flutes, violins and
choirs) and several appointments off awesome DM thrash riffs hit my G spot every time. Even the
somewhat bad production adds something to this for me. I think the vocals here are just perfect.
First and well deserved 4.5 of the year. Recd track - Those Who are Long Gone.

Folk black metal pilgrims should discover this band as soon as possible. Epic debut.

Nice folkish BM, and a pretty strong debut. The second half of the album was especially good (the songs: "Karakorum" and "The Ardent Passage"). I'm not the biggest fan of the production and the drumming though: the whole package sounds flat. Blast beats over blast beats with some extra blast beats, oh and the bass is barely audible - and probably programmed. But the rest is cool: great riffs, the folky stuff is alright, so definitely not bad.
