The production on this album is extremely bad, the vocals are choked with reverb, the guitars are highly trebly and the choir sound on the synth sounds awful. Shagrath did not do the vocals on this album, so do not expect anything good.

Nevertheless, there are some quite good songs on this (musically, if you can put up with the vocals and the bad production), such as the song "For All Tid".

The song "Det Nye Riket" is essentially an instrumental, with a talk over in Norwegian. Very bad.

"Over Bleknede Blåner Til Dommedag" features a terrible attempt at normal vocals, the outcome sounding like horrible out of tone opera, and the song "Stien" is undoubtably the most repetitive and beliegerant song Dimmu Borgir have ever made, including this very very very annoying Piccalo riff on the keyboards.

Only buy this if you are a total Dimmu Borgir fan. I would reccomend "Stormblast" (both old and new), "Enthrone Darkness Triumphant", "In Sorte Diaboli", "Spiritual Black… more »

Only buy this if you are a total Dimmu Borgir fan. I would reccomend "Stormblast" (both old and new), "Enthrone Darkness Triumphant", "In Sorte Diaboli", "Spiritual Black Dimensions" and "Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia", before this album. Heck, I'd even reccomend "Death Cult Armegeddon" over this.

However, as I said, MUSICALLY, some of the songs are very good, and if you hear one of the remade songs on "Godless Savage Garden", you can really appreciate this. But you can make do without this album for sure, listen to a few samples and see what you are letting yourself in for.

This is Dimmu Borgirs worst album, but if they remade it like Stormblast, and perhaps got rid of a few upbeat riffs, then this could potentially be quite good.
