Metal Reviews

Cheers and happy retirement to longtime drummer and all-around, proper maniac Nicko McBrain.

Most adherent to the title of the work.

The sophomore release from an epoch in the age of hard rock that is crystalized in the history of serious music, with its many shifts and turns, moods and upheavals, a capturing of a narrative, and portraiture on a canvas, that certainly reflects the colour scheme on the cover, and is loyal to the recording's highly dynamic nature, and its weighty thematics.

For they say that the person who has resided in the underworld never remains the same afterwards.

Music from the well of the soul and the upsurge of the heart.

Wolves In The Throne Room - Two Hunters

Bow to its mighty beastliness.

As layered as galactical formations and as precise as a chronometer.

A musical odyssey.

An reinvigorating electric spring at the advent of these dead-end grey wintery days.

The inner domain of man is where he is most trait-less, the realm of pure nature, where he belongs, most abundantly.

All was spirit.

As metallic and as fine-tasting as the cover itself.
