I'm halfway through listening to this album for the first time and it seems like it's a winner.
For those of you who don't know, this is the new band put together by Abbath from Immortal. It in fact sounds exactly like Immortal, but has no superfast parts or blastbeats. It still has that cold and epic atmosphere and the typical Immortal staccato riffs (hope I use the term correctly).
The first song "The storm I ride" which leaked earlier is no indication of the rest of the album. The rest of the material is pure Immortal, with some damn awesome emotional guitar solos thrown in (listening to the one in the song Mountains right now).
Edit: On song 7 of 8 now. I must say I am very impressed by this album. Taking away the blastbeats and letting the epic parts take over makes me a very happy camper.
