│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Forefather are a very amazing band. With this ║ │
│║ release they have helped symbolize ║ │
│║ innovativeness alive in the metal genres of ║ │
│║ Black and Viking Metal. Vocally this album is ║ │
│║ very sound with epic flare to stand aside ║ │
│║ Vintersorg, among others. Though a drum machine ║ │
│║ is used by the band listeners can hardly tell. ║ │
│║ They riffs are very thick and perfect for their ║ │
│║ sound. Lyrically the release shows a few basic ║ │
│║ ideas which include Christian influence on ║ │
│║ Archaic civilizations, nature, etc. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The album begins with an intro that is basic for ║ │
│║ a BM album(winds rustling in the northern ║ │
│║ wilderness and whatnot). No suprise there. ║ │
│║ Listeners will listen to it maybe once or twice ║ │
│║ then skip it forever after. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The second track, "Natural Chaos", is very ║ │
│║ northern sounding with alot of energy that seems ║ │
│║ to throb through a wall of atmosphere. Then the ║ │
│║ sound jumps into a fine riff followed by ║ │
│║ Wulfstan's growls starting off the track ║ │
│║ lyrically. Vocals transcend into to clean vocals ║ │
│║ (which is basically how this band works ║ │
│║ vocally). ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The Third and forth tracks, "Deep into Time" and ║ │
│║ "Immortal Wisdom" are well done though very ║ │
│║ similar to one another. They contain steady and ║ │
│║ sound riffs and keyboards entwined with the ║ │
│║ mixed harsh/clean vocals. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The next three tracks are less charged and ║ │
│║ entertaining than the previous two tracks but ║ │
│║ are still sound declarations of Forefather's ║ │
│║ style. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ "The Ornamented Sword", track 8 is my personal ║ │
│║ favorite song on the album though it doesn't ║ │
│║ feature any of the clean, powerful vocals like ║ │
│║ "Deep into Time" or the other tracks did. The ║ │
│║ song is basically a guitar line ith keyboards ║ │
│║ thrown in. Vocals for this song are a spoken ║ │
│║ excerpt from the "Beowulf" and the song is ║ │
│║ pieced together flawlessly. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The Album closes with an instrumental line that ║ │
│║ really doesn't seem to fit well with the album's ║ │
│║ sound. It sounds like an interlude from a more ║ │
│║ Folk based group like Moonsorrow. The track ║ │
│║ itself is a fine piece of work though out of ║ │
│║ place. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Bonus Track, "These Lands" is also a great part ║ │
│║ of this album as it shows a more Hammerheart- ║ │
│║ flare in the starting vocals and lyrics while ║ │
│║ assimilating it with the traditional Forefather ║ │
│║ osund established by the previous tracks. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ All in All this release is probably the band's ║ │
│║ best though not by much. ║ │
