| This is a very good record, I just wish they would have made more use of the harsh vocals. As far as genre goes, I hereby dub it post-goth! |

The best doom/death album since "Hope". 3
awesome vocal styles and solid songwriting.
The Faroese lyrics really adds to the
atmosphere, too. |

| Son of a preacher man, Jonathan Johansson, has followed up one of the strongest Swedish albums of 2009, "En hand i himlen", with an even better record. Amazing atmosphere, beautiful, haunting lyrics, and great songwriting makes this one to cherish. |

| The Swedish fantasy lyrics are worlds better than on your avarage metal album, and really adds another dimension to this awesome melodeath alhum. It contains some of the best songs Christian has ever written, which makes it album of the year for me. Stellar release. |
