Pretty music, quite well. Will try to describe what I've heared on this album. Melodic death riffs, black cuts, beautiful guitar solos, atmospheric keyboards, women opera vocal. Yeah, yeah, it's allright with your ears. WHat do you think, why Christ 's face is so amazed? Yep! For nomenclature maniacs I say, that style I'd determinate as sympho melodic death/black, you can paste, where you wish, progressive. There are no songs, which fall out from whole heap. All have plain sounding, Russian people can record good, but actually it's not BORGIR's sound, polished not in Perm, but in famous studio Fredman in Sweden. Most of all I liked two almost similar by motives tracks "Liric" and "Black Sun". It breathes with hopelessness, but at the same time there are hope blicks. Guitar solos! Take my soul!
But I also would remark. Beginnings of songs leaves wish better. Dirty, it needs something more better. I think, musicians on their new album won't disappoint us. I'd like to wish them luck, inspiration and wide public! Keep on!
