Do not get mixed up

(3 out of 5 stars)

"I purchased this album full price thinking it had the female vocalist from the Black Symphony album. It does not, it has a male. This is not a bad album,the production is very good but I was expecting something more along the lines of the newer one,with it catchy,fudgey, guitar riffs. If your looking for some of the best black,death metal with a chick singing then I highly recommend purchasing the Black Symphony. Only get anphisbena if you are a die hard opera ix fan like myself."
A great comeback...

"Many fans thought after ex-vocalist Cadaveria's departure, Opera IX would be finally laid back to the grave. Fortunatly for most die-hard fans like myself, this was not the case. No, my friends herein Anphisbena we see Opera IX shifting from their classic black/death-doom to beautifully arranged symphonic blackened death metal with strong medieval, folk, and celtic influences, incorporating the use of acoustic guitars, traditional folk strings and percussions, and some melodic clean vocals. To my belief, Anphibena is something of a concept album, celebrating the long lost hereditary and folk craft of old, the eventual silent triumph of the celtic pagan societies over christian intruders. If you have a taste for any good folk metal, this album is for you."
