Unheard talent.......2005-12-19

Being a huge fan of Green Carnation and Agalloch, I decided to pick up this album and their "Heart Of The Ages" album at the same time. Honestly, this album seems like exactly what you would get when you cross those two bands. Impressed? Yes, overall this album was pretty awesome. The dark atmosphere was perfectly created. The female vocals in my opinion were better than the male vocals. A five star review is out of the question because the male vocals in fact were not very impressive at all. At times, I was so impressed with the background elements that I jsut wished the male vocals would jsut stop. Overall though, this album was a great purchase and is a must have for any fans of Agalloch, Green Carnation, or Katatonia.

Overlooked brilliance.......2004-11-24

This is an underated band and desreves alot more attention then what they get. I ordered this album online without really knowing anything about this band except for the fact that Tchort was involved and from the opening track I knew I would love it. The atmosphere throughout the whole album is similar to Green Carnation, except with more female vocals, and this is not a bad thing. It is a strong album that surpassed my expectations and I recommend this for anyone into Gothic Metal, Prog, or just Metal in general.

If you Like Green Carnation..........2004-10-05

Then you will LOVE this. These songs seem to fall in between Green Carnations Light of Day, Day of Darness and Blessing in Disguise albums. It has semi-long songs (6 to 10 minutes) and is pretty heavys sometimes but has the same vocals as Green Carnation, plus the involvment of Tchort, who is really talented. GET THIS NOW!

One Of The Best The Euopean Metal Scene Has To Offer.......2003-08-02

Epic and grand, proficient and masterful, this is easily one of the very best albums put out by the European metal scene. Making an attempt to describe the band is useless, they are too original to give a description to. Imagine Arcturus' La Masquerade Infernale with the lack of that band's preference to purely run in the roundabouts in pandemonium or Green Carnation with more tempo variations and more orchestration. If they have influences, there must be so many that when mixed together they create something wholeheartedly original. The opening track, "299,692 km/s" (for all you Americans who don't know what this is, that is the speed of light in km rather than miles) employs a string quartet in several spots of the fifteen-minute song with a truly amazing spot starting at the twelve-minute mark followed by a wonderful topper by way of guitar harmonies.

All of their songs flow seamlessly and I would venture a guess that In The Woods was a major influence in Emperor's ex-member Tchort's band Green Carnation (aside from the members helping out with the recording). The female vocalist, known as Synne Soprana (as far as I know, they don't include information about the members in the album sleeves) has one of the two best voices in metal today (the other being, of course, Anneke van Giersbergen from The Gathering). The other plus is that their lyrics are wonderfully poetic without succumbing to pretensions.

I have owned this CD for over four years now (this being 2003) and it never fails to disappoint, get old or tiresome. As long as you don't require screeching black metal vocals and throwaway riffs to make your music listening experience fulfilling, these are the elite among the underrated talented artists whose musical collaboration ended far too soon. Buy this. This is music for the intelligent and all willing to make the mental venture will be rewarded greatly with satisfaction.

5/5 and for good reason.
