Here we have this black metal band with interesting instrumental passages. The CD starts in a typicl black metal style with fast and furious riffs and screaming vocals, and then it surprises you with an instrumental track full of keyboards, then you have a lot of black metal again and then comes "Travel of the Dreemkeeper" which is an instrumental with acoustic guitars. I like a lot how this guys use really raw guitars and dark and melancholic keyboards progressions in tracks like "Lost Kingdom of Mag Rein" with a short keyboard interludes that continues in a fast part with interesting drumbeats. This guys have a lot of ideas and put them on each of the tracks that are here. And I like this because it gives a lot of originality to the band. Original black metal for lovers of the dark side !!

Favorite tracks: "When The Moon Shines", "Within Eons of Darkness" and "Travel of the Dreemkeeper"
