[OldScratch]

Actually, I think this disc is better than the review might lead one to believe. While it is fair to say the style and sound is, shall I say "familiar" for the most part, what in this genre is not? What's more, the familiarity is delivered with enough conviction that they have carved out a sound that is unique enough in an overcrowded field.
Also, I think the Dissection comparisons that invariably accompany any Watain discussion are perhaps a bit misplaced on this new one. Certainly that reference true on the earlier efforts - but I honestly don't hear quite as much Dissection here, though it is there in mant respects.
Altogether, I found this to be one of the better releases from the more established BM acts out there in a while. I second what George has noted above about the strong production and improved drumming! A solid effort to be sure!!
