Atmospheric sounding synths start off the album along with some clean playing a few seconds later before going into a heavier direction. All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them while the vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams and the riffs also add in a great amount of melody.
When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling. Throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with one song also introducing stringed instruments and folk music elements onto the recording.
Pagan style shouts are utilized at times along with some clear singing also being added on a couple of tracks and some of the songs are also very long and epic in length, as well as some of the riffing also adding in dissonant touches, spoken words can also be heard briefly. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in a mixture of German, Swedish, Norwegian and English and cover folklore discovered by the Grim Brothers and historical events from the middle ages.
In my opinion this is another great sounding album form Horn and if you are a fan of folk influenced pagan black metal, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDD TRACKS INCLUDE "Die Ahren gleich als mit dem Huf" "Barhout" and "At Our Bleakest". 8 out of 10.
