A love/hate kind of production. I tried to like several times this massive, effect overloaded arena rock production. But the wall of sound prevents me to follow the core (soul) of the music...so a very personal "less is more" impression remains.
Nonetheless Not a bad record at all... rs1972

WOW! This album strikes like a thunderclap and throws you into a churning hailstorm interspersed with glorious color as the light refracts from the crystals. A howling, turbulent, thrashing sea and pelting rainy gale upon the rocky mountainside. Enslaved also maintain their crown of “progressive:” not wanky noodly noodly stuff, but thought-provoking, unexpected, and COLORFUL shifts and turns of rhythm, chord, key, and mood. Very Rush-like. A true privilege to see them at Fire in the Mountains. pinkytheent

What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music. Sælzer Bub

Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10 RJ
