A different style from previous albums. Increased emotions: displaying sadness and despair. Blue Misshapen Dusk, Ancestors Of Smoke (4:56 – 10:06), Believe In No Coming Shore: Create the urgent condition for apprehension as we free our grip, becoming forfeit of the rationalization something is obtainable, and all remains beyond our intentions; bravely maintaining the masquerade of reality.

Fantastic fluidity throughout track 2 – 6. The darkness welcomes solitude through the thought provoking lyrics: painting earthly desolation, disaffirmation of humanistic discipline causing gratuitous mountains of spiritual empty carcasses; supported by the endless unchecked momentum of progress that beckons discontinuance of existence.

36 minutes of folklore enchantment: (2nd half of) Hail Wind and Hewn Oak, In Waves of golden Light, To Witness Existence, And Never Shall There Be; conjure up impressions of sacred enchantment, beckoning eternal folklore solidification.

This album paints a fantastic landscape: a journey of wind swept mountain plains filled with disbelief, dissolution, anguish, and self absolution; reconciling the profound apprehension of emptiness and loss. Enlightenment, Ruoska, Sledge-Hammered Hart, and Total Self-Hatred fluently dominate the landscape.
