The first thing that strikes my mind is that I've heard this before, very fast B.M. with lots of keyboards and a high screamy voice. Yes, that's right, this sounds just like Emperor. Practically the only difference is Setherial's use of piano , acoustic guitars and violin, from time to time. But otherwise they're almost identical. This is just as well performed and the material are much like Emperor too. It's good music but they should really try to make it original eventhough this is nice. Now it's just another good replica of an other great band.

Lords of the Nightrealm

fast and brutal music, now more in the vain of Dark Funeral then Emperor. What strikes me first is that the production isn't good. Many of the riffs are very hard to detect and it easily becomes a blur. This leaves you remembering nothing afterwards and is a very sad thing. Several of the riffs are very good and many melodies are very much in my taste. Still the music isn't fresh or original so it isn't a album that I would recomend. Still I enjoy it but it's not as good as the debut. With a better production it might have been a killer album, but it still blows ones brains out.
