This is the 8th full length album of Borknagar. My main criticism about their works is mainly their tendency to repeat themselves in every new album. Their new one deviates from this rule (don't expect radical changes ) and I have to admit it is a very good album. There are lots of clean voices (Simen Hestnaes offers his brilliant voice in one track) and lots of black metal screams and riffs. The atmosphere is very close to the astral scenery depicted in the cover and most of the compositions are really enjoyable.
