This is a very impressive album from a band who's native homeland is Sweden. It reminds me of Theatre of Tradgedy but the music is somewhat different. This band is A LOT thicker. They have a lot of session vocalists, including Sarah Jezebel Deva who is known for her work with black metals masters Cradle of Filth. Therion's guitars are not the center of the band. The keyboards, orchestral instruments like cellos and violins and symphonic vocals are. The melodies are quite unique because they draw a lot from folk music. At least that's what it sounds like to me. This album has a really cool atmospheric, symphonic almost doomy quality to it. Very fucking good.
