Things got a bit stale on The Beginning of Times, so for this album, they decided to mix things up a bit by having Peter Tagtgren (one time vocalist for Bloodbath, who owns a fucking village!) produce instead of Marco Hietala (who produced all of the aforementioned albums), and writing about an original story rather than the Kalevala. 3.5/5 - while still not quite as good as Silent Waters or Skyforger, it gets up there, and is better than The Beginning of Times. A nice return to form!
