There are nine tracks on this release each sounding just a tiny bit different yet somehow the same, this makes the album play through "fluently," like a train, where each railway wagon has a different purpose (kitchen, storage, restaurant and so on and so forth) yet they all connect perfectly to the wagons behind and in front of them. Now for the songs themselves, the music is---like some might guess---very epic and atmospheric. The fast-paced drums combine with the larger-than-life guitars to create a very big sound. The vocals are pure black metal shrieks but with a certain element, which I haven't figured out yet, though it seems to me that they were recorded with a pitch shifter or a similar device, so that the vocals recorded are played over the same tracks but with a lower tone, creating a fuller, more impressive sound. Another aspect that makes this recording exceptionally massive is the use of other instruments that are not as frequently used in metal music. Unlike the holy triplet of guitar, bass and drums, this musical masterpiece contains instruments such as a piano (there is a whole two minute piano track on this CD) and violin (on "The Devil's Child"), creating a very orchestral sound. The production is perfect for this type of music. It is not raw yet on the other hand it is not entirely clean and flawless. This makes the CD sound more "underground" and with the contrast of the very symphonic music a perfect match is created.
