Rated 5/5
Review by enfantterrible Feb 09, 2003
This is considered a masterpiece of neo-folk.We could see this album as the peak of the folkish style of death in june even as the most representative band in the whole World serpent label, a benchmark in which other bands defined their music and ideology.
This album have excellent deep and philosophical lyrics with a vivid guitar that is a excellent complement in their trouvador style. subtle synths and samples that accent the feelings of power,melancholy and loneliness that flourish everywhere within.
This work puts the listener into a very nietszchean spiritual atmosphere, intense but at the same time relaxed, void of disturbances and harshness of the modern world.
excellent.
