Pretty Good

"While this album is pretty good, it's not as good as Diabolis Interium. That isn't to say that Dark Funeral has changed their approach much. In fact, the very opposite is true, which is precisely the problem. Dark Funeral's 2001 master piece undoubtedly epitomizes Dark Funeral's sound and seems to overshadow everything else the band has done to date. While they've incorporated a tad more mid-tempo sections in some of the songs (relatively speaking - this is Dark Funeral, after all), it isn't enough to step out of the shadow that is Diabolis Interium.
Standout tracks are Stigmata, My Funeral, and In My Dreams. They're slower than standard Dark Funeral songs and have some really good hooks. To maintain my interest in the future though, this band needs to take some risks."
Great album.

"I love this band and this new album is pure Black Metal gold. Amazing riffs, killer vox, pounding drums and great song structure. This is an album you can play when your in both a good mood and want some metal or in a frustrated mood where you need some good music and it will never let up. Great band, awesome new album!"
