Fantastic! This is the perfect word to define this new album. Taking as reference some of the black metal patterns they totally redifine the style adding a bunch of prog-circus melodies, enriching the music until they create this wonder. An album that needs to be carefully listened to extract all of its essence. Don´t you miss the video either, simply astonishing!

Certainly an unorthodox work of black metal, with a symphonic and progressive sound. Maybe not a masterpiece, but it´s a very interesting stuff anyway. Enjoy it!
