Gets better every time I hear it. Probably the best discovery I've made through the yearly top 10 polls. I can't believe people are so ambivalent toward it. Basically the quintessential melodeath album to me.
Please embrace the spectrum of growls. It's a vocally limited genre.The low growls are really off putting and at odds with the atmosphere. That’s my main problem with it. It’d definitely suit a more mid-ranged growl imo.

I guess I agree. I kinda dislike guttural growls in all contexts so I try not to think of them so much. Still doesn't prevent me from getting chills at the end of "Desert Shadows" or anything.
I get what you're saying but I'm all for mixing it up. I wouldn't expect guttural vocals on Uaral albums, but they work pretty good you know?Haha, I appreciate all kinds of growls. I just don’t think low ones fit with “melodeath” like that record at all. Do you think guttural low growls would fit an album like Transilvanian Hunger as an extreme example? Because I don’t. That’s what I meant. I don’t dislike the vocals in a vacuum.
Are you talking about Skydancer or the Garden of Shadows album with the The Chasm comment?
That list has too much crap on it (Anata, In Flames, Ceremonial Oath, Soilwork, Darkane, Heartwork etc) to make me want to check out the stuff I haven't heard, and as you alluded to, the order is terrible.
