One of the better Swedish black metal releases. And absolutely one of Arckanum's best efforts to date. Sadly it seems he ran out of steam after this one. Everything afterwards was pretty weak I think. one or two good tracks per album or so. Too bad, this was such a promising comeback.

I definitely agree about how the music sort of went off on a lower state, I think bands with a similar vibe have been coming out of the shadows now that this kind of black metal has formed...but in it's own right Arckanum is one of the most interesting and effective black metal bands of all time, there's a lot of mysticism and unique musicianship at play, very nice to see some LP worship here 5 flames and + 1 vomit of death for you :)
