6th album from 2022 by this acclaimed Finnish Melodic Death Metal band led by the prolific Tuomas Saukkonen. Released two years after "Wolves of Karelia", the album leaves behind the war-themed concept of its predecessor and explores Finnish mythology, drawing inspiration from ancient legends, northern gods and the forces of nature.
Its sound preserves the band's trademark blend of Melodic Death Metal, epic atmospheres and emotional depth while introducing a broader range of orchestral arrangements, greater vocal diversity and a slightly more melodic approach. Enhanced by guest appearances from Jesse Leach (KILLSWITCH ENGAGE) and Karl Sanders (NILE), the album stands as one of the most accomplished and majestic releases in the band's catalogue.
Recommended for fans of: INSOMNIUM, OMNIUM GATHERUM, BEFORE THE DAWN and SWALLOW THE SUN.
