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. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 01 - Intro [01:55] │ │ 02 - Natural Chaos [03:25] │ │ 03 - Deep into Time [04:12] │ │ 04 - Immortal Wisdom [04:46] │ │ 05 - Visions of Elders [06:33] │ │ 06 - These Lands [04:28] │ │ 07 - Dusk to Dawn [06:00] │ │ 08 - Ancient Voice [04:19] │ │ 09 - The Ornamented Sword [07:20] │ │ 10 - The Wilde Dance [01:59] │ │ │ │ Total Length : [44:57 minn │ │ │ │ │ │ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ╔═════════════════════╗ │ │ ║ Greetings To: ║ │ │ ╚═════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ Too all people who contributes to make this │ │ archive of good music in a exceptional conditions │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │■ ■│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
