A nice soft and well performed intro which doesn't give away anything about the album beside perhaps a great production. The rest of the music is midtempo Black/Death metal like on their debut album (reviewed soon). It's more original and has much better material and production though. Nice original keyboard work lifts the music and the very nice cover and layout also makes it fit nicely on the CD-wall. The music isn't very extreme in any way, it's one of the most easy to listen to B.M. albums I've got. Still it's good and it shows interesting development in the band. This was the last album to be recorded in the legendary Unisound studio (?). Rated

At Dusk And Forever

There have been some radical changes in this Swedish B.M. band. The critics have been very good so I decided to check it out. It's still very much the same band in my opinion. They have become faster and tighter as a band, but the style is the same so you will hear that it's them. The material is overall a bit better aswell, but I'm still not totally convinced. But it seems as this is one of those albums one have to hear a few times before it gets really good, but it's a bit short with only 35 min.
