Alright, the album is now officially released the globe over. Congrats to the band on a stellar sophomore release...this is high quality stuff. My favorite track (as of this moment) is Bring Back Life...that folky melody with the rhythm guitar chopping along with it...and then BAM, Michael does his best Jon Schaffer impression
The most emotional moment is where the Bone Carver speaks as a kid in What Lies Beyond...Jonah's keys there provide the perfect tone and atmosphere...and Tomy King did a great job with the spoken part. The other guest vocals, by Christina Øberg (She Who Summoned Me, Blood Red Skies), were fantastic...such a smooth and beautiful voice. To the band, how did you come to find Tomy and Christina to do those parts...especially Christina, I'm curious about her background.
Lance, what can I say, your vocals remain top-notch...great job on putting those vocal melodies together. Morten, love the drumwork...Niels, fine bass action...and Toke, smooth leads. Jonah, awesome job again on this album. Michael, excellent writing both musically and lyrically...I find the story fresh and interesting....who knows, maybe Peter Jackson will decide to do an epic film about it someday
