Wow, from the word go this is easily one of the best albums of the year and quite possibly the best one this year that this reviewer has heard this year. I know that I have not done a lot of music reviews this year, however I have been listening to a lot of new music all the same.
Everything works on the album right from the lyrics to the music , production and overall sound , their first single from the album "From The Flame is a small masterpiece as is the remaining of the album , such talent here all across the board.
The fantastic vocal work Einar on this album is nothing short of amazing, versatile and such a range of ability I have not heard like it this year!
Here is their 2nd song from the album "Stuck"
This band from Norway do not disappoint , the last album of theirs I reviewed I gave it 5 stars.
There is not a song on this album that I do not like , nor do I have a favorite either--odd I know but it is just that good an album!
If I was told to pick a favorite it would have to be "The Weight of Disaster" --the bridge and finale of the song is so good!! Keep playing it over and over again , same with the entire album!
The title track of the album starts out with keyboards and strings and haunting vocals , builds up as the song progresses drums are added to the mix and the song leaves us at a higher crescendo than what we started at.
"Coma" is fierce and fast on the guitars and drums, vocals soothing and --guitars, bass and drums beat at a steady pace throughout the song.
