Well, luckily enough for them, I will have to refrain from my finger pointing and name calling (for now) as the individual Greek responsible for this Burzumish affair of experimental ambient black metal has actually done a decent job in developing an eerie atmosphere that, despite dragging on at times, is equal parts grand and subdued. It is probable that because this bloke stayed away from all living organisms while writing and recording this album, that he may have lost use of his voice and resorted to creepy whispers at odd times or the straightforwardness of not saying anything at all (perhaps he had nothing nice to say?).

Sometimes the atmospherics do pan out into an uncomfortable silence or the songs don't seem to connect in terms of tone, but it is worth the listen for the guitar and piano interludes in songs like "The Cleansing Rain /Morningrise in the Eternal Fields" or perhaps for the various instruments used in "Exodus" -- even if they were created electronically, the harmonica and sax fit in great and you would hardly think you were listening to an extreme metal band.
