This is exactly the album I wish they had done after Into The Pandemonium. But I guess if they hadn't gone through all the problems they had between Pandemonium and now, this masterpiece might not have turned out so well.I have been a hard core Frost fan since I first heard To Megatherion in the mid eighties and despite the detours of Cold Lake and Parched With Thirst (which I liked, by the way) my admiration for them has not abated one bit. From start to finish, this album is great. I particularly like the first two cuts and Obscured but that is not intended to take anything away from the rest of it. I am just so glad they decided to make another go at it. Their brand of extreme metal is unique and not like anything else out there. It is great they are able to take their depression and anger and channel it into music. Couldn't be done better.For any extreme metal fans out there, you got to get this CD. It ROCKS!Highly recommended.
