Description/Reviews: 

Stylistically, this band has clearly grown a lot since the last release, though Eira still remain in their pocket of undeniable early-Opeth inspiration. The interplay between heavy and soft passages is outstandingly tasteful and not quite as contrived on this one, with some honestly neigh-perfect clean singing bits. A great deal of the chord driven passages from their previous offering have been replaced with more riffage, and the overall sound is more aggressive when the need calls. Also, can we talk about how much better the drum tone is on this one, despite being electronic (I believe)? Overall, though, there is one change that has been made abundantly clear:
This is a far more melodic Eira.
