As much as a i wanna hate this, i have to that its actually really solid! Its not as good as Litourgiya and this is NOT the real Batushka. Its more mainstream but i like to just say that it is its own thing... kind of...? The songs are easier to decode the guitar of on this than Litourgiya or Panihida so thats pretty nice.
This is great! Its dark, its heavy and its evil! I don`t really understand the hate that Dimmu Borgir gets nowadays. The only con about this album is its length. It could have been waaaayyy shorter for sure.
This is the heaviest album FF has done. I was not a FF fan in 2010, but i can only imagne how shocked people would have been when they heard the first song on this album.

I sometimes like to listen to this album and just pretend that its not FF. Because it makes it less weird. I think this is a great album, but its nothing like any other FF album.

Favorite songs: New Promise, Transgression and Supernova.
Worst song: I Will Follow

But other than that the song are pretty consistent with the FF signature riffs. This is a stepdown from Digimortal and Obsolete, but its microscopical.
