Dark soundscapes and keyboards start off the album before going into a heavier direction while the faster sections of the recording also add in a lot of blast b eats. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the music also has its symphonic moments. Throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with a couple of the tracks also being very long and epic in length and when tremolo picking is added into the fast riffing they also give the recording more of a raw feeling as well as some spoken words also being used briefly.
On this recording Mortem takes their Norwegian style of black metal into more of an atmospheric and symphonic direction. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in a mixture of English and Norwegian and cover darkness themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Mortem and if you are a fan of old school, atmospheric and symphonic black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Mighty Odious" and "Aftermath". 8 out of 10.
