The 10th album from this band from Norway.
The band was a sextet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
Two guests added vocals on a couple of songs.
This is the follow up to their rather good 2012 album Urd.
The band continued on. Most of their members were involved in other bands. Bands who were prioritised instead of Borknagar. Hence the infrequent Borknagar albums.
The band had by now found their formula. That is a mix of black metal, progressive rock and pomp rock.
The music on this one hour long album is both epic, bold and complex. The vocals is a mix of clean vocals and black metal vocals.
The music is a bit more melodic this time around. A bit more pomp rock too. Some Magnum influences has sneaked into their music.
The result is a bit more attractive and nicer music. The quality has gone up one notch too as the majority of the pieces of music here is good.
This is indeed a good album and one to check out.
