I've listened to this album for months now and it's a splendid work of art. This is what happens when music evolves and disregards from all set standards. Solefald ist krieg!

Ive seen this at my local record store. I may buy it if the price is right. Although im sure it will be ten bucks soon as its been there months.

Took you guys long enough! I agree about the closing track. Even listening to a guy speak in a language I DO understand for 5 minutes at the end of an album would be annoying. And the lower vocals did begin to grate after a while. More use of the higher black metal styled vocals would have worked better I think.

This was definitely a highlight for me last year. I can't wait until Black for Death.

I must admit that at first I wasn't very impressed with this album. I came back to it a bit later, and couldn't get enough of it ever since. There's so much going on at the same time in every song, yet it never feels overdone. Crater of the Valkyries is so amazing.

I remember hearing these guys and thinking their singer was annoying, but I'll probably check this out again.

You may still find the singer annoying, but the musics definitely good.

Just ignore it. Some vocals are alright, and the female singing is damn good.
