Listen up...
I received my copy and I must say (WOW) man...a truly sharp, fine tuned musical anthem indeed. By listening I can tell Lars singing is more passionate, and Carls Guitar playing has improved if possible(mindblowing)... with some very amazing musical ideas inside. Mr Winters piano parts are also still very clever and fresh, adding eerie atmospheres to the grooving rhythms of Carls guitar chugs. Hellhammers drumming is more impressive, and more exotic compared to older releases. Session member Oystein Moe bass sings along triumphantly with each song like never before, and adds a sense of fullness to the band. Overall an improvement over older Winds albums in skill and passion, great solos and song structures. I enjoyed the added effects of the guest like Dan Swano, and the Madder Mortem lady. I hope Winds will choose to dig deeper, and expand even more with these new elements in future releases.
Well I don't want to ruin all the surprises on this album for everybody, so I will be digesting all the complicated songs for awhile on my own. My favorite songs are Universal Creation Array, Fall and Rise, The Grand Design, When the dreams of Paradise died, The darkest Path, Where the cold winds blow...
Check it out... If you want quality for your money, Winds new one "Prominence and Demise" is the way to go.
