Dark soundscapes start off the album along with some clean playing a few seconds which also takes the music into more of a progressive direction when it is utilized. Clear pagan vocals are also used quite a bit throughout the recording and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
When the music speeds up a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling. harsh vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams along with some spoken words also being used at times and the riffs also add in a lot of melody.
Throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the keyboards also adding in touches of 70's era progressive rock. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style and a couple of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover the mystical and esoteric side of ancient archeological structures.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Enslaved and if you are a fan of this band, you should check out this album. RECOMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Solar Will" and "Tales Of Trees". 8 out of 10.
