Ihsahn is back with another intriguing album. The style is a bit differentiated, he uses 8-string guitars, it sometimes sounds more progressive and more thrash-oriented than his previous works but anyway who cares... it is still an IHSAHN album. The incorporation of saxophone is a very daring and risky thing to do but according to my opinion it is highly successful. It adds an avant-garde and jazzy feeling to the whole atmosphere. Ihsahn is one of the best metal composers of our time and he is here to prove it once again with a forward-thinking brilliant album.
